True to a point... good luck replacing a Firehawk... last time i checked they stopped making them in 2002. He can find another one to drive(and possibly wreck) but there will be no more made to replace it.

Driving stupid or not, he's an idiot for using slicks on the road.

He's lucky the insurance company didnt spot the slicks on the car when they inspected it. If so they would have refused to pay most likely because slicks are not DOT legal to be used on public roads.

So whats the real story? I can't imagine anyone having a car like that and who is seemingly under the age of 21, NOT being on this board.

On a side note, I drive my Chevelle around with slicks all the time because A) I'm not a dumbass, nor do I drive like one, B) I rebuilt my car from the ground up, and C) I know my and the cars limitations.

Damn! I used to own a Firehawk that looked identical, but mine was packing twin turbos.

Sad to see it those pics.

Looks like his head hit the side window...

I usually try to drive with the windows down just for that reason.

Well no offense to the driver. I hope he's fine. But he has a terrible history from what his Fquik says. He's completely mangled two F-body's. Not just one but two. I would think that would say something, like stop getting Ls1's you can't handle them or just aren't responsible enough tto drive one.

Jesus christ what is with the bandwagon hate here. The majority of you idiots don't even know the real story. Maybe the kid lost traction in the rain or something like that. Until you learn what actually happened stop the judgement.

There is no hate here. Just peoples thoughts that are not complimentary.
Not patting the guy on the back under standing the "real story" or not. Doesn't make others "idiots".

The vid shows someone disrepecting the public roads at speeds on **** tires. With a single car accident even if the wheel fell off, he is the one that put the wheel on. It is his responsiblity.

If he lost traction in the rain, that would be worse.

From watching the vid I got the idea he did not like tread on his tires.

Whether I learn what actually happened or not, I am making one judgement.
Your an idiot!

Yes it does make them idiots. I encounter this stuff in conversations with car people all the god damn time. Everyone is always like oh yeah "that persons a retard because he crashed his car" without knowing what actually happened, and its annoying. For all they/all of you know it could have been a slight mistake. I'm sure plenty of you have gotten into accidents whether they were your fault or not. At the end of the day **** happens, the kid is lucky he's ok.

Stop being a holier than thou douchebag. Are you trying to tell me you've never sped or done anything illegal on a public road? There are plenty of members that have video's of burnouts and donuts and other **** that is associated with this site.

I think Shockwave179 your missing my point
1. This thread was not started by the driver. So it is not hate in his face.
2. The car is not shown in vid as driven under control on the streets, but, just the opposite out of control on the streets. Therefore low skills and judgement, almost comical.
3. We are human so we make judgements. Right or wrong we do, it is hard wired. You won't agree with everyone.
4. You come on here name calling others. Most people were just giving an opinion different than yours. They did not flame or call names. "Stop being a holier than thou douchebag" "idiots" "retards" These were seen in your post.
5. Accident don't just happen, there is always a reason. Most of the time it is not "the accident happened because of great skill and fantastic judgement".
Just my observations.
