RIP

I had a 1965 vett with the 396 when I was 18. There were more than a few times I could have been killed.

    The cockpit looks as if it stayed intact... Was he wearing his seat belt [?][?]

    With that angle there's no telling what the drivers side looks like.

    I guess in this case it really was a "once-in-a lifetime" experience.

    OK, I'm going to throw this out for discussion. Who is the bigger dingus.

    The father of the 9 year old that shot the instructor with the Uzi

    Or the father of this Mensa candidate? (perhaps the father was not involved in the decision so lets go with the owner of the vehicle.)

    I know a 16yr old that races NASCAR trucks and K&N, he probably could handle that car, but I have seen him wipe out some equipment, On the other hand, he had a little help getting into the wall.


    We saw a Nissan GT-R and a Porsche 911 S4 doing stupid poop in traffic this morning on the way to the Tech game. They were both with us in traffic for a few miles with nothing unusual going on then with traffic moving around 80 the GT-R just downshifted dove to the far right lane and was gone in the blink of an eye. The Porsche was not to be left behind.
