Ouch, that hurts...the wallet.

I call dibs on the brakes!!

Shame to see such a nice car go down so quickly.. what a shame.

Man what a shame!!
Not one broken wheel though! Or so it seems!

I doubt it hurt his wallet much -- generally a guy that's going to take a car like this out - has deep pockets and isn't making payments.

Now - if he is making payments - then you just can't fix STUPID! LOL

I have a friend that vintage races (or I should say did until he sold the car for 4 million dollars) a REAL 63 Corvette Grand Sport... they (husband and wife both drove the snot out of the car) crashed it several times == no biggie == just bring her back to the shop and fix it up good as new. Another friend races a real Mercedes Gullwing.... and thinks nothing of it.

I couldn't buy the door handle of either of these... thus... no racie! LOL

LOL When I talked to Jake yesterday the first thing I asked him was to check and see if the guy wanted to sell the engine!
Jake said if I had one of these it would be pictures of my wreck! so true, so true.

Too funny! AND yes -- that might be most of us as well!!

A little too much throttle and light on skills -- bad combo!

[tones2SS]

That sucks.
