I think it was Mero's car in the fanboy video.

Edit: Ah! okay, someone mentioned before that Mero wasn't involved.

Still not proper grammar.

1st sentence has restrictive relative clauses and should not have a comma.
2nd sentence take out the parenthetical expression between the commas and you get the sentence "During evaluation leading to the accident." That is not a sentence.
3rd sentence, with three terms with a single conjunction, appears correct.

No, we want your last view on this earth to be the "cheese grater" (as you call it) comin' right at you!:rock:

That's the best angle of the C7 yet. Just kidding!:rofl:

Thankfully no one was hurt and the Vette recieved minor damage. Now put it back on the road and see how durable it is after repairs. Real world testing can't be any more accurate. Something similar happened last year on the Big Sur run we had up here in Northern "Kalifornia". The C6 Vette got messed up realy bad but the driver was fine.

How many of you will postpone buying an early model if they find out that it is a design flaw that caused the accident. Happens all of the time in the first models.

Running on the Big Sur? That could be seriously nuts. :willy:

IMO no way was that the cause, come on he caught an edge and lost it? More than likely it was just horsing around, I don't know who it bodes for worse otherwise, thedrivers lack of skill or the cars inability to be corrected!

Then I'm going to have to wear my helmet like Dale Jr does. Backwards.

The very job of a test driver is to test the limits. That road, if it is the one I am thinking of between Wickenburg and Prescott, is a blast to do it on. Twisties on the side of a hill with many switchbacks because of the elevation changes. It essentially rises from desert floor in Wickenburg to the pine trees in Prescott. Where pavement ends and shoulder begins there are periodically places the dirt/gravel erodes away by rain and has to be filled in. We have had a lot of moisture here the past couple of weeks. As the old saying goes, there but for the Grace of God go MANY of us :rock:

I sure hope they aren't 'performance' testing on a public road with other drivers. Hopefully this was just a mistake while transporting it from place to place and the guy got off the shoulder.

It's not a parenthetical expression; it's a zealous comma and a bad verb form -- "leading" ought to be "which led" doncha think?

Is that a serious comment?

Sure.

It rains there? LOL
I guess that could be the case, he might have hooked a wheel and lost it! I guess us regular folk find it hard to believe that a test driver would lose a mule like that if the area was too compromising, especially with such few cars to be driven. Thankfully he's okay but my money is still on monkey business, not pushing it to the limit! Thumbs up...

Definitional. Pushing it to the limits of what sheer fun monkey business he could get away with on that road with his two buddies in the red and black ones playing follow the leader. Cannot be resisted on that road.......... it IS that good :rock:

Back in 1960, in high school, my best friend sideswiped his mother's car on a bridge(his mother wasn't with him) one night. He told his mother that he reached over to tune the radio, and that caused the accident. The truth was that he was getting a BJ from his girl friend at the time. He was having a little problem staying focused on his driving.

@ rcallen, sounds like a blast! We have some decent twisties here in the NE but usually with not much run off! Then again those rock walls don't offer too much for error either!! @joesC5, I think it's fair to say we all have one of those stories! i once sideswiped a tree b/c my friend was stanging on the door sill and me like an idiot was watching him and not the road!! P.S. lucky for your pal she did not bite down...lol.

Bottom Line: This is a bad omen. I suggest a prayer vigil to cast out any evil spirits.

May I suggest a vette7 prayer vigil be held today at 6:30pm EST per this forum.
Perhaps Blue Ox resident C7 Dalai Lama can preside over the services?
Say a little sumpin-sumpin,... a couple amens should do it.

Just a suggestion....

Pro Karma :cheers:

Bob Seger can start the services with an a capella version of "Like a Rock" :rock: :rock: :rock:
