It's sad when these kinds of thing happen, but, and I'm aware that I sound like the buzzkill that I am, how is that relevant to building arcade machines?

I knew one of them dudes was gonna die young but I had thought for sure it would have been doing one of their 'carefully planned stunts'.

It's a shame and appears as if drinking and driving was surely involved. He seemed like a decent guy that just liked to have fun. I hope it's an eye opener for kids that idolize those guys including my own kids. I know, I know they love that franchise but whadyado? That kind of ass-hattery is so in right now with the kids. But yea, cruisin' and boozin, not good!

Did you see the 'car' they pulled out of the bushes? Looked like a godamned Schwin bike frame that went through WWI and II... THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS LEFT of the car! How fast were they going?

Damn, wtf. I can't believe I just read this.

I liked Dunn a lot...

Thanks for posting however, I'm glad that I know regardless.

I believe the initial report estimated speed around 130 mph/ 180 kmh. It sucks but if he did it to himself then he did it to himself. Too bad there was a passenger that also got killed.

Bam is going to be on phila. radio this morning.  Preston & Steve show on 93.3 WMMR.  You can pull it up using an app called TuneIn.  Maybe on their website too...
