Ferraris are not the most durable. He always seemed like a good guy though.

 

[Tsaunders]

I was reading an article on him, and the last paragraph stated, "He is believed to be 45." WTF, believed? Dont they have his age?

Yeah I read this article last night on yahoo. Does anyone know why they charged the 51yr. old man in the Porsche he was horse playing with Vehicular manslaughter and set his bail at 1 million. That seems stiff.

Wow thats fucked up, so California law will give this guy with the Porsche Vehicular manslaughter for racing. Shit. This could have happened to me quite a few times. Kinda doesn't seem right. Man back in the days of the muscle cars weekend racing was just your normal thing to do. Someone got hurt they wouldn't blame the other driver. I think I remeber several yrs. back something on T.V. where there was a major problem in S. Cali. with racing and deaths so they changed the law.

The picture of his car was insane!!! Split completely in half. The State Attorney will more than likely drop the charge and charge him with several smaller charges (Illegal Racing, DUI, Fleeing the scene of an accident etc.)
