very sad news RIP. It appears that the guy was an auto enthusiast but, I think driving a 650hp car while being paralyzed isnt safe, no matter how the car is rigged up as to being hand controlled...

My condolences goes out to you. This shows we have to be careful in inclement weather conditions!!

Just this morning, I was spinning out just almost every stoplight and I was trying to be careful and with traction control. Also sometimes I also loss a little traction when I hit second gear. So be careful with your stangs if you are driving them in the rain.
