NY Daily News Paul Walker 12/10

Some more info on the Paul Walker crash for those who are interested. Quote from the article. McClellan said the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT has a “black box” that should be able to reveal the speed Rodas was traveling prior to the crash, whether he was accelerating or trying to apply the brakes and whether the airbags worked properly. Paul Walker death: Previous owner of Porsche that killed

Quote from article. After the alleged theft, Witty posted a photo of the red panel on Twitter with the caption: "Piece of Paul Walker's car, took it off a tow truck at a stop light." Paul Walker car crash: Two charged with stealing Porsche roof panel as it was towed to impound lot - NY Daily News

Previous owner said "the car was tricky and could stall starting up."

Wow I hate modern news, or journalism, or whatever the hell it is.

I think Eric Olberz might have been misquoted. I think he might have said the clutch was tricky starting off not starting up. LOL

Yup. So in the absence of any actual information, we will just interview some random people that are peripherally connected with the incident and quote them as experts. Irresponsible, lazy, poor ass excuse for journalism.
