    come to think of it, aside from james dean's "little bastard" porsche 550 spyder, i do not remember any other car made (in)famous because a celebrity crashed it...
    well, there's the OJ simpson-fame ford bronco... which i understand was acquired by an interested party for a hefty sum...
    will someone be interested in the woods's hyundai...?
    heh heh heh.
    Paul Walker died while driving the Porsche Carrera GT of his friend. Cause of accident is that the tires were old and suffered a catastrophic blowout.

    If Hyundai will make some moves, it will be bad publicity for them.

    This model got a perfect score from Car and Driver and topped models from more established luxury makes like Audi, BMW, Porsche and Volvo in their review.
    Impressive though is, the passenger shell is intact & even though the car turned turtle multiple times, the roof didn’t collapse.

    Interestingly, if you grew up learning to drive only auto tranny, you instinctively step on the brakes to slow it down, a no no when driving fast on a sweeping curve. If you grew up driving a manual, you instinctively brake before downshifting.

    doesn't seem too far-fetched now.
    heh heh.

    the net is now full of clips analyzing the car's so-called potential life-saving doodads.
    interest veers away from tiger, to the car...

    but i wonder,
    will they focus on the roadway's features, and make effective mitigations?
