What guy hasn’t gone somewhat insane in a vehicle? Some of us were lucky. Others weren’t.

Not making any judgments here. Sorry to see the guy’s life cut short like this.

Please Lord, don’t let them turn this guy into another James Dean, they’ll hyperventilate over for the next 50 years.

On the record, I have not gone insane in a vehicle. Ever.

Stong desire to live coupled with a strong desire not to wantonly kill others. Or have a criminal record.

Once, these guys were challenging my Ford Focus to a race on the highway and I had it up to 185 km, but so did they. We got behind a line of cars, on a two lane road, and to,show them up so that I could do something they could not, I pulled into,the opposite lane and bypassed all the waiting cars, while there was another car coming.

I,probably wouldn’t do that again.

I agree. Some of us like speed. I did when I was young, in cars. And I rode too fast on motorcycles until giving them up at about 40. Some like it on snowmobiles, skis, dirt bikes, airplanes, parachutes, etc. And some die doing all those things.

Walker caught a bad ride with a another driver who liked speed.

I had never heard of him, but I've been reading that he was not the typical Hollywood waste of skin, but a decent guy who did a lot of charity work. He was at a charity event when he and Rojas went for a short spin. I think they only got a couple of blocks.
