    First real joke (and it's a good one) is the Varsity Blues reference.

    Apparently this guy was dating a 16-year-old when he was 33. Not good.

    Old video of Walker talking about hitting 185 mph on the freeway.

    Also it appears the road where they died was a hotspot for street racing.

    This one's moving away from the "senseless tragedy" and into the "Darwin Awards" at a rapid rate of speed.

    There is some cruel irony in the way this guy died. He obviously loved fast cars and racing and all that - and he dies in a car crash in a porsche going way too fast.

    Irony?

    I do not think that word means what Zag thinks it means.

    Predictability would be more accurate.

    The online grieving cycle is cliched in its predictability.

    Dude - it's my hometown.
    It's all people there are talking about.
    A friend's brother saw the shit happen.
    I am simply pointing out that it hasn't been confirmed who was driving.
    There are a lot of unanswered questions here, frankly.
