And at his age.
I’m living proof that’s not possible.
Just think. …
Once we all have self-driving cars, what do you suppose many commuters will be doing during their commutes? Hint: not knitting. I predict darkly tinted windows will become a very popular option. 
People always said he’d come to a bad end.
*I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl…
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light.

That was stupid. Everyone knows he needs one hand to drive, the other to hold his beer.
I’ve been drivin’ all night, my hand’s wet on the wheel
There’s a voice in my head that drives my heel
It’s my baby callin’, says I need you here
And it’s a half past four and I’m shiftin’ gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin’ in from above
Don’t need no phone at all
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
We’ve got a wave in the air, radar love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee’s comin’ on strong
The road has got me hypnotized
And I’m speedin’ into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I’m sure I’ve had enough
She sends her comfort comin’ in from above
Golden Earing for the win.
I was about to post those lyrics myself! All we need now is “I’m In Love With My Car”
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine,
With the pistons a pumpin’, and the hubcaps all gleam.
When I’m holding your wheel,
All I hear is your gear,
When my hand’s on your grease gun,
Oh it’s like a disease son,
I’m in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile,
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar,
Such a thrill when your radials squeal.
Queen seems to agree…

All right, I’ll play.
Groovin’ on the freeway, gauge is on the red
Gun down on my gasoline, I believe I’m gonna crack a head.
Zeppelin ftw.
That’s what HE said!!!
Well sure, with your screen name.
I think I’m most amazed that he was 58 years old. Good for him, except for the death part that is.
Before I get blasted for saying that (heh… I said blasted) I’m not amazed that he COULD do it at 58 (hell, I’m 53 and COULD do it), I’m amazed that at 53 he WOULD do it. One of the gifts of getting older is that you don’t do quite as many stupid things. I guess he was working from a different code of conduct than me. 
OTOH, as one gets older there’s a lot less reason to NOT do things. There’s a lot more room to say “What the heck, f*** 'em if they can’t take a joke!”
NVM. False premise.
Had he lived, he might have done some serious time. Isn’t car jacking a felony?
Master of his Demise
Good thing he wasn’t using his iphone to sext and drive. That’s illegal.
Nice.
I’m out!
