"OK, to everyone saying Darwin, or "the guy is stupid"...relax, someone is DEAD, actually had the life snuffed out of them, no longer living or breathing, imagine it's one of your friends and take a deep breath and calm the fuck down.
This one actually seems to have some merit.
1. Night time with no lights on the road, and until I hear that they were driving 50 with the federales on their tail, I am going to assume he was going 15-30.
2. ROAD ENDS INTO LAKE. I mean come the fuck on, no signs, pitch black out, and the road just disa-fucking-pears. Give the guy a little bit of slack that maybe he hit the brakes and the car slid over the edge into the lake. I mean half you fuckers on this site can't drive when it sprinkles out without causing mass havoc and traffic...on the freeway...in the middle of the day time. So chill.
3. Seriously? how the hell does GPS not see a fucking lake from space when they can see my one inch cock while nude sunbathing in my backyard? Fix that shit already. And then come up with a solution to shrinkage. "

is still just a receiver that uses the time information to calculate a position; then overlay it to a position on a map.
