Well that Jackass won't ever drink and drive again, thank God. They should have called him Dumbass, but Jaskass fits too.

Judging by the pics, he didn't suffer much. RIP

I am a reluctant fan of the show, but anyone who would do that to a GT3 deserves what they get. This was no accident, he went out, got drunk and to destroy a GT3 to the extent he did, must have really been flying way over the speed limit.. Sad still, his antics will be missed..

I had to chuckle when I read this comment over on Fark: "Hi, I'm Ryan Dunn, and this is Driving Home Blitzed At 3 AM."


Too soon?

Antics like doing triple digits driving while drunk? I won't miss that. Neither will the family of his passenger.

I didn't even know who the guy was. Never saw Jackass. Just another bad example as far as I can tell.

Usually, it's an ******* like him who kills someone else and he survives, guess he miscalculated this time.

He lived up to his star name.

Does the old: "He died doing what he loved to do." apply here?

His passenger liked getting into fast cars at 3 in the morning with a drunk driver, so he died doing what he liked, too.

The ones on screen, in a controlled environment (under Hugh in one film).

It wasn't until I started suffering insomnia that I started watching a few years back, it was that or Sham-wow...

Byron,

You might have been better served by Sham-Wow.
