Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Nearly two years after Paul Walker’s death, the actor’s teenage daughter is suing Porsche, claiming that the sports car her father was riding in when he was killed in a fiery wreck had numerous design flaws.
An attorney for 16-year-old Meadow Walker filed a wrongful death suit Monday against the automaker, claiming the company knew the Porsche Carrera GT “lacked safety features that are found on well-designed racing cars or even Porsche’s least expensive road cars — features that could have prevented the accident or, at a minimum, allowed Paul Walker to survive the crash,” according to news reports.
“This snapped Walker’s torso back with thousands of pounds of force,
thereby breaking his ribs and pelvis, flattening his seat and trapping him in a supine position, where he remained alive until the vehicle erupted into flames one minute and 20 seconds later,” the lawsuit claims, according to the Los Angeles Times.
This kind of crap should be thrown out immediately. Here's a crazy idea, don't do 150 in a 45 while you're intoxicated.

I guess he didn't have a lot of money. Got to go where the money is(Porsche)
You never saw a Fast and Furious movie?!?!?!?!
They dont play that at the dollar matinee on sundays
I made the mistake of watching ten minutes of one once. Big mistake. The most awful movies with the worst acting on the planet.
Ia that all you can afford, a dollar matinee? Must be or you would be complaining.
They are in the plans of making 'Fast and Furious' 8 for 2017 now. Unfortunately Walker won't be in the movie.
Yeah, that's Porsche's fault
:Spittingcoffee
its the trees fault, sue the tree, and the **** that made it!
the 911's all have a handling characteristic known as "lift throttle over steer"....
if you're an idiot, and try and drive one of these cars without being familiar with that issue...you will be a fubar...
people normally react to the feeling of the rear end breaking loose by lifting the throttle which actually makes the situation worse...
in a 911 when you feel the rear end starting to step out you should put more foot into the go peddle to counteract the over steer...
not let up...
I kind of have a feeling besides alcohol being involved, the driver was not aware of this...which is exacerbated by the turbo...
the boxsters and caymens do not share this handling quirk as the engine is in the middle of the car, in front of the rear axles...
porsches are renowned for their safety and design...however, they can't fix stupid...

if you can't catch a fish...catch a buzz....

I thought it was a GT?
Also wasn't this a daytime promo event that Walker and his partner too off to take ride during. I dont think there were any alcohol or drugs involved?

This is their case, he couldn't get out of the car to survive the fire with a crash like that?!?!?!? No chit!
if it has a 4 inch fart pipe , that is 100 extra HP, at the wheels, guaranteed
