Default Tragedy!

From 6 Speed online: It looks like the car involved was a white GT2

How can someone behave this way?

What Porsche owner would just abandon his car like that. It had to have fingerprints all over it. If he took it home, put it in the garage for a year, he might beat the rap if no one got the plate number. Not saying that is right, just saying leaving it to be found serves no purpose. I think it was stolen. Very sad for the victims' families.

LeVin is screwed. And his experiences with porsches over the years has not been good............

im interested in seeing if he was indeed not driving the car as he claims....

like Rick James said, "Cocaine is a hell of a drug!"

Cook County court records show that LeVin was sentenced to 30 months' probation in November 2007 after leading Chicago police on a high-speed pursuit in a blue 2001 Porsche Targa. Police estimated he reached speeds of 100 m.p.h. during the July 31, 2006, chase, and he struck several vehicles and injured a police officer and two motorists, according to police reports.
"I was not driving," Ryan LeVin told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.


The "real driver" sounds like he's related to the "real killer" that OJ has been searching for all this time.
