What do you think? Was he cruising along and suddenly tried for the exit?

My understanding was he (jackass) was a passenger. I could be wrong.

Good to see Pelicans are still hatin' as good as back in the day when I was posting here though

Have you *******s figured out that arguing if god exists or not on the interwebzz is even more stupid than Jackass?

Cheers, Victor

centrifugal skid. The GT3 went off completely sideways. The driver's side front tire maintained contact with the roadway, as did the driver's side rear tire. The passenger side front tire lost all contact with the roadway.

And yes, he was trying to make that exit ramp. The guy in lane #1, whom he was racing with, locked up his non-abs equipped car in an attempt to also make the exit ramp. The lane #1 guy got a little sideways but didn't completely lose it.

I'm guessing that the guy in lane #1 saw the explosion.

*** this is my theory, only. Not gospel. ****

Looking at the skid marks, and knowing it was oh-dark-thirty, I wonder if they came up on traffic REAL fast. Even if there was just one car, it seems like people "wander" across the line when they see very fast traffic approaching at night from the rear. Maybe even deer in the highway.

So both pile on the brakes, maybe Dunn tries to make the get-off ramp?

Who knows. Has the other car that left the heavy brake marks been identified?

Agreed, you could be wrong.
To address your second point, I can't speak for everyone here but I sure as heck hate idiots who do irresponsible and stoopid things that kill people.
I don't care for folks who idolize idiots or make excuses for them either.

Sorry if that offends.

Last time I checked no one has gotten killed from reading PARF so get over yourself.

...WTF?

I suspect that anyone above the level of cretin recognizes that arguing about God on the internet is infinitely smarter than getting thoroughly drunk and driving at triple digits at oh dark thirty and killing yourself and your friends.

Given that you apparently don't I hope you'll find comfort in knowing that your major contribution to society will likely be proving that Darwin's theories are eminently correct.

Hey, I'm just spending my evening trying to figure out what word he was trying to spell with those asterisks.
