Off-topic Talk Where overpaid, underworked S2000 owners waste the worst part of their days before the drive home. This forum is for general chit chat and discussions not covered by the other off-topic forums.

RIP Ryan Dunn

wierd... when ever somebody dies in a car crash S2KI turns into the Prius forum as if nobody has here has done something stupid in a car. we have the means to buy an S2000 or something faster, we've all done dumb stuff in it, he had the means to buy a GT3 and did something dumb as well, oh and he boozed and cruised, yeah bad too but i guess all of you never met buds out a bar and drive home. End of story.

Go back to driving your cars at 55 mph and stay out of my lane... I'll be the guy driving my car the way it was designed to.

Regardless if he was drunk or not, his stupidity cost someone elses life. I cant believe ppl feel sorry for this guy. now his family and the family of his passenger have to suffer for his stupidity. What if it had been one of your family members in that passenger seat? he also left his wife and kids behind. oh yeah, sounds like a great guy. People make mistakes, sure, but now others have to pay for them.
The passenger was also responsible for getting in a car with an alleged drunk person. Yeah it's sad on both parts because two lives were lost, but Ryan Dunn didn't have a gun to the guys head telling him to ride with him.
I agree with you, I never said he did and I never said I felt sorry for his passenger. I never have driven drunk or gotten in the car with a drunk person. I said He cost him his life, It was also stupid of his passenger to get in the car with him.

I havent seen anyone post a complaint about his speeding so I dont know where u get that from. You should pay for the consequences of your actions, no one else. I speed all the time, but only with myself in the car. I have never driven drunk, I cant say the same for everyone else. But you should know the consequences of doing so. What most ppl are trying to get across is how can you feel bad for someone who has caused others pain. I'm sure everyone on here has sped at one point or another

Drinking and driving in a car capable of extremely high speeds at 3a.m. makes for a true jackass.

The internet is the place for us to jump on our high-horses and pass judgement on people we don't know. It makes us feel better about our unremarkable lives when famous people make mistakes.

Just like that guy Wiener...I've sent nude photos of myself to thousands of random people and no one wants me to quit my job.

Wow, S2KI has really gone downhill in regards to maturity. Just because he was in a pic with a drink doesn't mean he was trashed. I'm a West Chester local and it seems that he had 3 beers/3 "girly" shots in the 4 hours he was at Barnaby's, and then left there around 2ish. So for the people saying he deserved it due to drinking and driving, I'm guessing you're all saints. And the road that he was on is probably a good 3-4 mile stretch that plenty of people use for street racing. From the police reports, they marked his speed at 110mph. Dunn was an experienced driver and knew what he was doing, but accidents happen. I went by the spot today and my guess is he tried to make the right turn onto the exit ramp, but something happened. Could have been a deer, could have been a flat tire, or anything else so please show some sympathy. The real jackasses are society for feeding into the whole 'Jackass' series/movies and making it so popular, so if you're blaming anyone, blame yourself. He couldn't have made millions without loyal fans. We lost a good man who truly was a down to earth person and didn't let the fame get to his head.

Beer makes me do everything better. Even right turns at 110 mph.
