91. I wonder if "walking away from a car crash" was on his "bucket list"? I bet it was exciting!

92. I hope Morgan Freeman learned his lesson. He was all doped up and decided to street race and then reality slapped him in the face hard. I wish his Bentley rolled a few more times to send the message home to Young Hollywood: Don’t be smoking dope and jumping behind the wheel of a fancy car. .
