110mph on public roads - Fail
110mph on a 4-lane road with no center divider - Fail
110mph on a 4-lane road with no center divider after drinking *anything* - Fail
110mph on a 4-lane road with no center divider and drunk (?) - MASSIVE Fail
And yeah, I'm a little curious about that second set of skid marks in the left hand lane as well........
I'm also amazed that this has gone on for 4 pages without anyone mentioning snap-oversteer in a rear-engined Porsche and it's tendency to kill people (particularly celebrities).
it's Pennsyltucky. PennDOT is legally required to put skid marks on roads after they are paved and before they are re-opened to the public.
I think the sudden amounts of traction when the throttle lifted is the main problem. Not that I would know **** about driving a MR car, but this video is my evidence.
I was thinking about something ironic about how he was the new James Dean when I saw the thread but could come up with the right punch line.
Porsche (911s) are Rear Engine cars, which means that the engine is actually placed behind the rear axle. They're far less likely to experience snap-oversteer thanks to suspension/electronic goodies than they were in the past, but apparently the pre-1990 (1985? 1980?) 911s were pretty much guaranteed to kill you at some point.
Anyone who drinks at one time or another HAS driven drunk whether you admit it or not. If it was your dad, brother, friend, or the local postman you would save any witty punchlines. I'm not saying mourn the dude, just have some respect.
i drive drunk all the time. in fact, i'm driving drunk right now!
You must be new here.
Mmmmmm.......NAH!!
crippled wit respeck... or something
What other class of felons do you respect?
I used to watch them do that when I was on scene towing the wreck. The troopers would back up a ways then haul ass into a full blown 4 wheel skid to estimate the speed.
But I think the brakes on the GT3 are a little better than the cop car, so they may need to pad the numbers.
But still not good enough apparently.
Wrong. I don't. There's no excuse. I either ride with a DD or don't drink. Is it really that hard? I don't understand how people go out knowing they are going to drink without a plan.

I wish I could find the pic of my friend driving, texting and chugging a Magic Hat growler on the way to Whiteface. Hilarious picture.
This.
I don't drink when I go out because SOMEONE should be able to drive. If I have a ride, or have other arrangements, then I'll drink. Portland is awesome for bar hopping on the train.
a friend once referred to me as the safest drunk driver he knew.But still not good enough apparently.

PennDOT once paved over a deer carcess. No joke.
My bicycle won't do 110mph when I'm sober *or* drunk, and that's the reason I take it out when I'm bar-hopping. And if the worst happens and I die in a drunken accident, I know that I won't take my best friend/some random family out with me...But still not good enough apparently.

Must be why they keep the cones up for months after construction seems to be complete.
that actually seems to be normal practice here in PA
orange road cones have become so prevalent they are actually a wild species in PA
I openly support drunken cycling, does that make me a bad person?
I can see the headlines now
"local man goes off road after leaving bar at 3:30 AM, flew 2' into the woods before hitting a tree and bruising shoulder"

Wish I had a dollar for every time I puked on the MAX.Portland is awesome for bar hopping on the train.
And all the good bars are in fareless square!
I have only puked ON the MAX once, but I have gotten off the MAX many times to puke, then caught the next one. With all the new lines running through downtown, there are a lot of trains to catch. Pretty sweet setup.
rm gave them their own thread.
unless a random family in a car has to swerve to miss you?

I don't know about other states, but you can get a DWI while riding a bicycle drunk here in Cali, which is lame. I live close to downtown and it's easy to ride down on your bike and a hell of a lot safer for bar hopping. I guess the reasoning is you are 'supposed' to be riding in the street and following all the other rules of the road, which never seem to apply to beach cruisers.
Good luck legalizing drunk driving
so is it legal to drive while under the influence of marijuana?
Hey, Ryan Dunn is not a friend of mine and he ain't yours either, and this is an anonymous intraweb forum too. Don't expect too much decorum.
And yeah, I driven drunk before. I had 5 whiskeys in 3 hours, then I drove the 2.5 miles home on industrial back streets doing no more than 25mph. That was 4 years ago.
I'm taking what I can from his death, which is the utter stupidity and how easily it could have been avoided.
Besides the extremely fast car and the irresponsible lifestyle, the other thing you should realize about the people who get a dui or a drunken wreck: this isn't the first time they have driven drunk.
Dunn was way too casual about his and his passenger's safety, and you know the rest...
So much gold in this thread.
As far as OWI (operation while intoxicated) while on a bicycle, there is no such thing, said Sgt. Eric Tripke, who heads the police departments Traffic Enforcement Safety Team.
I plan on getting that made up in to t-shirts.
Ftfy.
Bike paths, my friend. Bike paths.
