Fast and the furious actor dead

I'm not going to go down the road to far in judging the guy, sounds like he was a pretty stand up dude. but if those are photos of his porsche, he wasnt running to the supermarket at 45 mph. He was in the middle of making another fast and the furious movie, there were others aboard the car... i imagine some showboating was involved here

i have always hated and flat out despised the fast and the furious movies, i always thought they were ridiculous and when those films first came out there was a noted uptick in street racing around here - specifically young impressionable folks driving cars purchased with daddy's money that they had absolutely no business driving in the first place.

I imagine that sort of illegal street racing takes place wherever there are vehicles, fuel, and testosterone. Hell, i have been known in my younger days to launch off a green light a few times when i drove a trans am in my early 20's just to show up the kid in the mustang at the light next to me.

in youth one rarely cosideres consequences... now that im older i do.

Now that said i have never run down the main strip at 100+ Miles per hour, 70mph perhaps though - even if momentarily. but i have seen it done, faster even.

Now i stop and think that i could have killed someone or myself... if not caused serious injury to people or personal property.
