Default ZO6 Wreck on Tru -TV

Did anyone see Worlds Worst Drivers on Tru tv channel last night. I dont know how old this video is of some guy who just bought a C5ZO6, electron blue with temporary tags on it. My heart did flip-flops when i saw this guy driving through what looked like a forest preserve in Maryland doing donuts, and everytime he nails the accelerator, the *** end of the Z is fish-tailing like crazy. The "new car feel" came to an end when he hammered the accelerator on a curved road and slammed the car into a tree. Hes got two buddies following him recording the action when he hit the tree, and one of them said.... I knew that was gonna happen!.....DUH!!! the driver of the Z got out and looked over the car and made a comment about the fact thatthe radio still worked. I DVRed the episode and I replayed it a couple of times already and I still feel bad for the guy. Thats a hell of a sight to see a guy wreck his vette, particularly one he picked up just that day. Like I said, i dont know how old the video is but the episode was brand new.

Too many obsticales around and small road to be doing stuff like that. at least there wasnt anyone coming from the other way to make it a dual car accident.

^ Cleveland, TN! I spent a lot of time there over the past few years. My best friend and business partner lived there and recently passed away (Sept 14th) on 64 near Ocoee on his motorcycle. I'm sure you saw it on the news/newspaper.

Totally off-topic, sorry about that.

Oh my god! Driver mod seriously needed! That was a terrible place to be messin' around like that in the first place! It looked like he gassed it mid-way through the left hander and befrore Active Handling could save him....TREE! It's just a good thing that there wasn't another car coming around the corner, or someone on the side of the road. What an idiot!

Tough way to learn a lesson.


Been there, did that-- different circumstances but the end result was a total loss.
