Why does everyone think some type of crap music is important to play with videos.

James Dean also found out what a death trap this type of car can be.

[JDSFLA]

@Klaaaan1 James Dean died because he was speeding (estimated 70-75 mph 113-121 kph) and another car turned in front of him. Rolf Weutherich, a German mechanic riding with Dean also died. Dean had been issued a speeding ticket shortly before the crash by the California state police.

None of this indicated that this car is anymore a death trap than any other small two seat sports car of the period.

@JDSFLA (Rolf Wütherich (1927 – July 22, 1981) . He did not die in the James Dean crash. He was killed in an automobile crash in 1981 in Germany.

[JDSFLA]

@rodder4lf Your right. Rolf was badley injured in the crash with James Dean, but died in a later car crash (1981).

[TheRocknRollBlues]

James Dean would approve.
