Ryan Dunn from Jacka$$ dies

Just heard about one of my favorite jacka$$ guys died today in a car crash in his 911 GT3. Very sad to see, alcohol was a major factor in his death. Don't drink and drive. RIP Ryan Dunn AKA Random Hero.

I heard about that as well. Sad to hear. From what I understand, extreme speed and alcohol were both factors in the crash. Sorry for his family, as well as the family members of his passenger. Many of the comments that I've read on websites...way uncalled for. May they both rest in peace.

I also heard about this. Sucks to lose one of the most entertaining people out there. I'm sure the dude was a awesome guy, he was bam's right hand man. RIP RD

Alchohol is bad enough but combine it with a car that does 0-60 in under 4 seconds, hits 130 in ten more seconds and can almost kiss 195 mph makes for an exceptionally deadly combination.

Of course thats just considering alchohol as the only source of the problem. A mechanical failure of some sort could have precipitated the event.

Official..he was wasted twice double the legal limit at the time.
.196, and the police estimate he was doing between 132-140mph at the time of the crash.

Jack...***....
I like the movies and all, but that's just plain stupid

Whew... yeah thats not giving a ****. Its a shame (possibly) he had a passenger but luckily it was just the two of them and involved nobody else.

What a waste...of a car.


Don't drink and drive and don't get in the car with a driver that's been drinking folks. It's not rocket science.

The other guy was probably equally trashed so his judgement in the situation was about the same as Dunn's I suppose. I wonder if a toxicology report may have been ordered for the passenger as well but obscurity has protected them from the prying eyes of the public.

Was Zach Robert Hartwell Paulson as equally drunk and a willing participent in Dunn's alchohol fueled suicide run or was he just along for the ride not expecting Dunn not to test wether or not the GT3 could hit 130 in 13 seconds? At the very least, you could probably say two smashed guys doing some stupid stuff.

We'll never know, but we do know he wasn't driving.
