Ouch, that hurts to see that, but hopefully he'll learn something from it. That road was way to tight to be screwing around on he's lucky he didn't kill someone.

I agree he was driving too fast. But who was in the car chasing him? Girlfriend's ex- husband?

I had a spill in my Z, coming off an exit ramp at about 30mph, it was a right curve, and a dumptruck spilled some gravel all over the road. I didn't see it until the last second, so it spun out, and smacked a street sign. I only replaced a fender, and a tie rod.. and upgraded to the LS1 brakes at this time. Break stuff, then upgrade... lol Stuff happens, that is what tools are for...

I am sure everyone has played in places that were not the best, but that car is not the one to screw with on that kind of road..
