Porsche's Redacted Documents May Just Be The Windfall Meadow Walker's Attorneys Were Hoping For...

Just give the money-hungry bitch a payoff so money can be made off a careless death.

What happened in your life to make you so bitterly miserable...you've must be a blast to be around

This is naked opportunism on his daughter's part. The car wrecked because Rodas was an unsafe driver. Her beef is with Rodas NOT Porsche. Of course, snowflake unicorns like you believe in suing for money even when it has no merit. So I have to ask: What happened in your like to make you without any moral compass?

MDarringer: I agree entirely with you that the most probably cause (by far) of the incident was the driver's decision to operate the vehicle well in excess of posted legal speed limits, and his lack of prudent decision-making, driving skill, and familiarity with the vehicle at high speeds were also likely contributing factors to his loss of vehicular control and subsequent incident, which resulted in his fatal injuries (hmmm... sounds like an FAA report).

Even so, when I read your post, it sounds hateful. It sounds like the proverbial "worst element of the Internet in the 'replies' section". You know, the name calling (e.g., "money-hungry bitch") derision of people posting contrary opinions (e.g., "snowflake unicorns") has you coming across as an angry, hateful, person.

I sincerely hope this is not who you really are.

"As many as 200 of the 1,200 Carrera GTs which Porsche produced had been 'totaled' in the first two years it was sold (2004-2006)"

It was a bad car, not a driver's car. It should have at least been recalled and retrofitted with PSM.

I guarantee every one was wrecked due to drivers being able to afford the car but not driving it safely on the road. A conservative estimate of Rodas' speed is that he was going 3X the posted limit. It's not the car's fault.

I hate to sound like I'm siding with MDarringer, but here are another couple of data points, relevant to this conversation.

Cirrus Aircraft make the world's most popular single-engine piston airplane, the SR22. It has a standard Technically Advanced cockpit, a standard full-frame ballistic parachute, advanced safety gear, etc. Surprisingly, they had a safety record that was far worse than the industry average, in spite of having the allegedly "safest" aircraft. Cirrus's own research revealed that lots of Cirrus pilots are young, wealthy businessmen people who can afford a high-performance, luxury aircraft, but were lacking basic flying skills. Cirrus's answer was to make all sorts of training available to Cirrus owners. It worked. Today, Cirrus has one of the best safety records in the industry. Same aircraft; sudden switch from dangerous to safe.

Another example is the infamous Mitsubishi MU-2, a high-performance low-cost turbo-prop twin nick-named "The Widow-Maker" for its earned reputation of killing its pilots. The FAA researched this and determined the MU-2 had some flight characteristics that typical pilots would not expect, and would therefore do the wrong thing and get into possibly lethal trouble. The FAA changed the law, and made it mandatory for pilots transitioning to the MU-2 to get craft-specific training to earn a "Type Certificate", which was the only way they could legally fly the plane. In less than a year, the MU-2 went from "Widow-Maker" to "great and safe plane", with no change other than properly trained the pilots.

So we can blame Porsche Carrera GTs for being "Widow-Makers" and being "crash prone" (because we assume they are), or we can look to other examples of how "dangerous" vehicles became safer than average when the only thing we changed was the operator's ability to properly operate the vehicle.

The car was driven unsafely. Period. The case should be dismissed with prejudice.

If the car in question was like other GT's for sale today or in years past, ads seem to highlight original tires... on a 10 or 12 year old car. Bad driver, too much speed. Bad things happen....In any car.

It's not the car's fault. No more money 4 U........
