http://autoholics.com/2011/06/20/Jac...y-Wreck-543833

and

http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/enter...ss_Star_062011

and based on the info he posted before the crash he was having a good time drinking then driving

He sure lived up to his name with his death ... glad he didn't take anyone else with him ...

He did have a passenger in the car who also died.

We complain about the cost of health care and/or a gallon of gasoline yet we (not I) give money freely to support the antics of idiots. One must question what they actually contribute to society that allows them to live in "cribs" and drive a Porsche. I for one will not shed a tear. As for the passenger it sounds like a basic risk assessment might have been in order before getting in that car.

I guess I meant other innocent people on the road ... I was not sure if there was a passenger or not ...

Estimated speed was calc'd to be 130mph. It was stated by the cleanup crew that the remains of the car are the worst ever seen by them.....

Coroner's report listed both 'blunt force trauma' and 'fire' as causes of death because it could not be determined which was the actual cause.

a 911 GT3 should not be in the hands of a drunk, that is a lot of HP car when you are sober, new 911 GT3RS is basically a track car. What a waste...

.196 blood alcohol level, going 130-140 mph and trying to take a turn onto an offramp with alcohol-delayed reaction time.

Not a very compassionate group, eh?

Before you point fingers remember there are always 3 pointing back at you.

You may not like his line of work or how he made his fortune BUT he is human, and we all make mistakes. Unfortunately his cost him and his passenger their lives.

I am sure if you lost a loved one you would not like to know others were saying things like &quot;I will not shed a tear&quot; or &quot;once a jackass, always a jackass&quot;. Comments like that do not say much about you.... or they say a lot. depends which way you want to look at it.

Seemed like a decent/funny guy. Stupid decision, but most of us have driven impaired in one way or another.

I hope he and his passenger Rest In Peace. I hate to see anyone get killed, even if he did it himself.
