just read that report.

Foolish. Sad.

The weird thing is...how did they know it's the same car from earlier? Lisense plate or something.

People are retarded if they think they can outrun cops. They get your plates your through. just pull over.

sad day for this mans family.

He ran from the cops twice?

I don't feel sorry for this kid at all. It sucks that he did this to his family and friends.

That is sad to hear. Obviously he wasn't in a clear state of mind. I read somewhere that when a person dies like that it is a subconscious way of commiting suicide.

that's true, we have all had that feeling of not belonging and wanting to leave at one time of our lives. So i guess that night was not his night. RIP Taylor and my heart goes out to his family and friends.

RIP

It's scary that he was able to out run the cops.. if he just slowed down, took a turn he would have been free.... that's a scary thought.

on an almost related note.... does it ever **** anyone off that the wrx was made with ****ty rear swaybar and tires? The car would be so much safer if those two parts were better

RE92s and the swaybar are fine. Part of being a good driver is knowing your limits, and the limits of your equipment.

I know you're joking cuz it says the cops stopped the chase for fear of something like this happening. Edgar should post soon asking you to stop saying such things for the 78652378562352785th time.

the smaller rear swaybar that soa specs is safer than a larger rear swaybar.

smaller rear sway = less oversteer
larger rear sway = more oversteer

Somehow I don't think Subaru engineers worry themselves with 22 year olds who flee the police at night through residential neighborhoods at 100MPH+. [insert quote from sonicsuby and a "+1 here]
