ATHLETIC ASSHOLES

[HairOfTheDog]

I find it incredibly ironic that the basis of their lawsuit hinges on Tony acting recklessly given it was their son's reckless behavior that caused his own death.

Some people will do almost anything to get their hand in someone's pocket. I hope they lose.

Yeah, I feel the same way about it.

This morning I read that Paul Walker's teen daughter is suing Porsche for her father's death.

I don't think the car is to blame. I mean, he and his friend were doing over 80 miles per hour in a residential area when they struck a couple of trees and a concrete lamp post. They were reckless and they died as a result.



Her lawyers contend that the 95 Carrera's design flaws caused Walker's death because the seat belt snapped him back with excessive force and the fuel line placement is unsafe (which caused the fire). Walker apparently had smoke in his trachea so he didn't die immediately upon impact.

Both of the men were race car drivers; they knew the car's design and the risks of speeding in that environment (in the Carrera or any other car).

I feel bad for the girl losing her dad, but if she really wanted to hold someone responsible, it would make more sense to me to blame her dad's friend who was driving the car. But, there probably aren't any deep pockets there.
