TNBusa wrecked his car (pics)
It happened this morning. He was on his way to meet Eddie70 for breakfast. He was passing a car, and the car speeded up to keep him from it. When he hit the gas pedal, it went out of control. He hit a lady in a silver toyota, hit a street sign, and they both went off in a field. Her car may very well be totaled. Mike's car looks awful.....as you can see in the pics.
We're just really thankful that no one was hurt. It could have been worse.

Its a shame to see a car someone put so much work into get wrecked
This thing gets zero traction with the 285/40-18 Nittos. I know Jim...you told me so

Hey Mike,
Glad your and the other person are ok. Insurance will fix it. That is one beautiful car. I'm sure you'll make it better than it was. I hope they find the guy that drove off and left you.

glad no one was hurt, but sometimes them weekend drives are the most dangerous.
At least it is rebuildable.

thanks everyone.
Mike, Eddie70 and a couple more buddies are in the basement now. Mike might have had a couple of VERY strong drinks. (I know......I made them.
)
I think he might need another.............

I am so sorry to hear this happened......that was one beautiful Corvette you had there....but it can be rebuilt, and no one was hurt......I know these words can't fix whats wrong, and I know how I would feel if my pride and joy looked like that after all my hard work, but keep your chin up, and build it even better!

I'm sure no matter what we say, Mike will still feel bad about his car, as we all would if it happened to us. Please tell us the car is home, or in a locked / secured towing compond.

What I want to know is: What happened to the guy who prevented him from passing or allowing him to go by? I hope he stuck around and manned up. Sorry to see such a nice car get mangled and glad that no one was hurt. Cars can be rebuilt, people sometimes cannot.
