Looks like he had good taste in cars, and lived up to his name. RIP, Jackass.

Sad to hear about it this morning.
I talked to one of his racing buddies this morning and he was pretty broken up.

Rumored to be a pub stunt.

Right.

But it WAS rumored to be a pub stunt. As if nothing can be believed in the internet and press. Al Gore must be turning in his grave.

Natural selection in action. Sad but true.

Natural selection is the process by which biologic traits become more or less common in a population due to consistent effects upon the survival or reproduction of their bearers. It is a key mechanism of evolution.
The genetic variation within a population of organisms may cause some individuals to survive and reproduce more successfully than others. (Wikipedia)

Sad. Cars(especially fast ones) and booze are never a good mix.
