Regarding the Paul Walker accident - my understanding is that they weren’t going that fast. It was that the car had original tires on it - over 10 years old and had dry rotted.
I got a 911 a few years ago and had several friends bring that up in an failed effort to get me to drive like I was in a Prius.
I gotta agree with the post that said get the new mid engine Vette with money from the pin collection.
