Synack 06-20-2011 10:03 AM

Yeah, that's his car after it exploded into flames for a little while.

ClemsonWill 06-20-2011 10:40 AM

I heard about this earlier. Such a shame. RIP Mr. Dunn. I will always laugh when I see the racecar condom prank.

Synack 06-20-2011 11:08 AM

It's his most notorious act. lol

hide187 06-20-2011 12:57 PM

ChrisSlicks 06-20-2011 01:03 PM

I think the picture of them drinking was a significant one.

MC 06-20-2011 03:00 PM

Jose Aliling 06-21-2011 07:30 AM

just recently watched jackass 3 he will surely be missed..

MacCool 06-22-2011 03:05 PM

Drunk and speeding (0.196/140 MPH). Too bad the jackass had to take an innocent life with him.

I think its safe to assume the passenger got into the car knowing Dunn had been drinking, never the less, a tragedy.

wow wtf is wrong with you. you don't have to be drunk to freaking lose control and die in a modified RWD sports car, or do you only drive your Z below the speed limit?

toxik 06-23-2011 01:38 PM

case and point, notice the skid marks on the road where he crashed. Dunn's are on the right, and to the left of his are skid marks of an obvious 18 wheeler, how do you know that it was even his fault he went off the highway... i know he was twice over the limit, but the limit is 2 beers, unless you drink once a year 2 beers won't even get you tipsy. and what twice the limit is 4 beers, WOW I DONT KNOW HOW IM GONNA DRIVE IM SO DRUNK AFTER 4 BEERS DUDE

red6spd 06-23-2011 01:58 PM

People where at the crash site taking peices of the car to sell on E-Bay. Thats kind of messed up.

Synack 06-23-2011 03:19 PM

Noone knows and we more than likely won't ever know if he was drunk at the time. It would be safe to say he had at least a couple beers but that doesn't affect someone like him who has a stupid high tolerance. TBH if he was doing 130 in his GT3 then he should've been in the left lane where semi's typically stay away from. In this case it looks like he was in the right lane and the truck was getting into the right lane and he slammed on the brakes and tried to get on the on-ramp to avoid it but missed horribly. This is just what I took from skid marks.

Even if sober, doing 130mph late at night in a 55mph zone, not the smartest thing to do.

MC 06-23-2011 03:43 PM

new crash pics

Crazy pics. If it was not for the wheels you would not even be able to tell it was a car.

thank you.... :tup:

Isamu 06-23-2011 04:38 PM

who says those other tire marks are new, maybe they are old?
he posted pics just before the accident of him drinking...

regardless of his level of inebriation... he got behind the wheel of a high power car, without being in full control of his own actions... THAT alone makes him responsible 100%

Jjaden 06-23-2011 04:49 PM

So it seems that he liked to drive his car as if he was on the track, and that he had already walked away for quite a few accidents.

Even him mom said "He'll never learn his lesson"

Add in the alcohol and you have a recipe for disaster, looks like nobody close to him was that surprised.

Isamu you know I love you but I honestly hate people like you when it comes to this news story. Everyone knows he's responsible for his own actions, no alcohol involved... just going 130 is already recipe for disaster. But I don't get all these people that are on like a personal vendetta, that seem so mad about the whole ordeal as if Dunn killed one of their kids. The guy is dead, let him RIP... it has nothing to do with being right or wrong in his actions. If my son dies from a heroine overdose, I'm not gonna sit there and say THIS IDIOT DID IT TO HIMSELF, you have no feeling if you feel like that... so what makes a stranger any different, dying is dying whether its by accident, by suicide, or by being drunk driving at 130mph in a porsche, its still sad.

Yeah he almost killed bam and his brother in a car accident in 95, he was a horrible driver but was into cars. At least Dunn could take apart his own porsche and put it back together, that's more than I can say for many of the "good" drivers on here.

shadoquad 06-23-2011 04:59 PM

Toxik, I don't think that anyone here will disagree that this is a tragic end. The world lost an entertainer.

The behavior that led up to his crash is reprehensible, but you're right, the story is tragic regardless.

I'm not sure what one thing has to do with another. Being able to take apart your own porsche and put it back together doesn't make you a 'better' car owner, or a more responsible driver.

Obviously he has a history of being a reckless and irresponsible driver. It finally caught up to him. Add in the alcohol and you have a dead Dunn.

Drunk driving can kill innocent lives. Drug overdose won't kill others. BIG difference. But either way, it is still sad.

His blood alcohol was 0.196. Of course he was drunk. He was going between 134 and 140 mph. And he has a prior conviction for DUI.

Ryan Dunn apologists can make all the rationalizations they want, and try to second-guess professional accident reconstructionists based on a couple of internet photographs, but it won't wash.

Negligence, stupidity, arrogance. Motor vehicle homicide.
