even the other week when ellen degeneres got rear ended in her porsche carrera by a drunk woman in her porsche carrera on sunset blvd. wth?!
back ot... it is sad someone actually died for b.s. like this. that picture of the p-car is tragic.

Ummm, in case you missed it in the article, someone died. He may have contributed to his death. He may have been completely blameless. We don't know.
We can spend the next month hypothesizing about what happened, but perhaps it might be best to wait for the evidence to come out before we make a judgement and damn the dead?

Grow-up, people. (I'm directing that last comment at these two idiots, one of whom will not be able to comply).
Bottom line: It sad someone died. And, although not nearly important, I hate to see a beautiful Porsche (yes, I like 996s too) ruined.

Wow... this shows why the 2 second rule has value.
The scariest moment for me was when my computer went into a spontaneous hard reboot just as the vid ended.
Two idiots on the road.... now time for a COMPUTER HARD DISK backup

Very sad indeed; I do travel that road occasionally; my daughter lives around that area. My granddaughter once said "you drive slow pops" I think I'll stick to it; specially when I'm carrying a precious passenger like her. San Diego news released his name: Ronald Otera of El Cajon, RIP. I'm wondering if was a member of PCA San Diego region.
