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.

Just LOL....

:thumbs: There appear to be multiple problems, none of which I really care about or should have really bothered with, I could have pursued. But I didn't have enough motivation to actually pull out my Strunk and White. To be or not to be thoural. :D

Actually if you look at the photo there does not appear to be and wash out or curb edging although it might be different where he went off! Looking at the lose gravel it's my guess he got in those marbels and lost it!

Yep, those little rivulets meander here and there in a totally random fashion. That is precisely what makes them such a hazard. What you are lulled into thinking is a smooth transition all of a sudden, unpredictably, isn't.

See, just like the wide body C6, the wider C7 with the wheels mounted way outboard is going to cause problems. Our roads are just not wide enough for these wide Corvettes. If a professional can't keep the car between the lines, how are us mere mortals supposed to?

I guess Tadge is going to have to tweak the car some more so you can program "narrow road, loose gravel, no shoulder" into the computer.

What day is Bingo? Please, give it a rest. Are you PO'ed about the Z06 valve issue. Is that what this is all about? You are becoming a real, true pest in the C7 Forum and myself and others are going to report your posts and ask that you are banned. Is that really what you are striving for?

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:

I bet you start bawling when your mommy kills a mosquito. Kind of thin skinned aren't you?

Tell us what you are so bitter over. We will help you deal with it. Really. All this negativity is not good for your health.

It's usually me getting yelled at in the C7 forum...lol. @ blueox, that car may be twisted if he hit the suspension hard enough! Of course they will make sure it's repaired properly just so they can beat on it some more but like I said it may be out of whack!

It'll tell them something about real-world cause and effect...:D

Big Dan 427 02-13-2013 02:46 PM

Absolutely, all info gathered by these mules will lead to a better car being built!

So the car is going to be upside down when it falls on him? :D

I don't think it matters what color it is - you know, it's kinda like the old saying - "they all look the same from underneath............" :D

You can make up your own story for how he 'gets it'.

You lost me on that response......Or should I increase my life insurance.....LOL

Do they know what you look like at the plant? If not, I'll wear a name badge that says..."I'm BlueOx, not JoesC5".

Let the :beatdeadhorse: begin!

Yes, larger contact patch, bicycle tires always get caught in grooves!:lol:

Vetteman Jack 02-13-2013 03:24 PM

Accidents happen. And maybe it was a CF member writing the report - would go along with the grammar I've seen here. :lol:
