Thanks, he seems fine and I wasn't even in the car. I was the guy he called to come get him after the paramedics gave him a ride to the hospital. He didn;t want to have his wife come pick him up and bitch at him.
As for what happened. The story I got was that he kind of froze up and jerked his had back too behind him. This lead to the gas staying down long enough to get up to 43 and him jerking the wheel. There wasn't a car right behind him, it was back a bit, still braking to a stop. That driver also swerved, so they sideswiped each other basically, that spun him out into the barrier.
I'm still laughing at his dumbass. I feel bad for him, but still.....
For the rest of his life, every time he goes 'Oh my car could take that car out...' I'm going to chime in 'You mean like that Mustang you took out back in June?'

I honestly think he shouldn't ever drive again. He's not smart enough to have a license. If the state was smart they would pull it. He's clearly not a good or smart driver and anybody that can get up to 43mph in reverse on accident has slow reflexes and dumb as a box of rocks.

He was afraid of voiding the warranty (oh the irony). It is really sad because the little group of car nuts we're both in has a half dozen GM engineers in it. All of them offered to make the rev limiter go away in a manner that the dealer wouldn't notice. Basically rewrite the code so the instruction to limit is still sent, but ignored.
Good Call on his end not wanting to void the warranty..
How'd that work out for him?
It's gay.

Both. Maybe Nacho can chime in whether or not it was gay before or after he did it, too.
And, I'm sure buying my car used would be alot better than some other people. This aside, my car never gets beat on, raced, or abused at all.

I didn't have it pop into reverse at all, but it was hard nonetheless. I can't imagine trying to do that in traffic just to try and showoff. But, we better stop discussing this Nacho we're making ourselves look bad for trying it.
