Paul Walker's Daughter Sues Porsche Over Crash

I used to own one of those mangustas. Awesome car.

As for high speed on streets if your a passenger you have every right to get out at the next light. If you choose to stay in the car beside a recluse driver chances are you just as much at fault. Movies of fantasy thrills are what people eat up and think its what reality is about.
Saddly it takes situations like this to create awareness about wreckless driving and lives it takes with it. But todays world thinks its okay to play in reality..
Eh? You're a Goose Brother? Outta fuckin sight!! My serial# 8MA-1148, a 1970. What was Yours? Got any pix??

I dont have any info on it anymore that was back in 1977 78 79. I did a partial trade to my good on a 73 pantera. The mangusta went state side along with all paperwork and registrations. I was and am a car nut but when cars get sold so do most of the memories.

How many miles do You think You put on Her? I owned mine about the same time frame, 79-81 & put >10,000 miles on. Lucky I didn’t die in it, but Man it was exciting!
 
Porsche not guilty. Drivers right foot responsible. Justice.

I honestly feel bad about anyone who loses a loved one no matter how or why .
When your doing 100 or so and you hit a pole / tree or whatever its not the car manufacturers fault but the person driving the vehicle ,
Many years ago two friends hit an embankment and the passenger lost all his teeth and needed jaw restucture work , the driver was sued and that's where it ended . How could you blame the vehicle ?
 
Yeah,
Paul was not the driver as I mentioned in Post # 52
Driver: Roger Rodas, 38
Owner of car: Roger Rodas, 38

Up here were lucky to get maybe 4 months out of the year of good dry driving.. on My Old Mangusta.. I would say about approx. 10.000 over 3 years.. the Pantera. I actually drove it more.. . that one went to Colorado ..

I am working on getting another..

The Guy Who has clocked the most seat time in a Mangusta is Dick Ruzzin, a former GM designer, Who ended up with 68 that was built for Bill Mitchell @ GM & had tricked Zora Corvette motor installed @ deTomaso factory. He still has it & has put 60,000 plus on it to date. He's also the Guy who discovered the improper mounting of the ZF transaxle, that greatly contributed to the unsettling rear camber spooks under hard cornering pressure. The axle bridge/hanger mounts were hard to t-axle & @ ends of bridge @subframe they were rubber bush mount, was allowing too much movement under pressure. A simple reverse of the mount procedure,,, bush mounts on bridge to t-axle & hard mount bridge to subframe quells the unwanted movement. If You remember, the Mangusta also has an auxillary, smaller bridge mount @ tail of ZF. Once the main bridge mounts are reversed, the auxillary bridge can be eliminated.
You are working on getting another which, Goose or Pantera?
