Hrm, I'm trying to figure that picture out. Did the car hit a parked flatbed with the ramp down at an angle or something?

This is what happens when someone daily drives an Accord most of their adult life, and then has a midlife crisis and buys a Z06. Too much powah!

I'm waiting to see how many of the zr1's are wrecked because not only will it be faster the torque curve will be completely diffrent than most former vette owners are use to.

That wreck is on the corvetteforums. I believe it was a 1 gear spin out, hit the side of the mountian and rolled the car. Theres alot of pictures on that site. It also had LT's and had paper tags.

Its simple, first off the tires get worn down and then your tractions issues only get bigger and your too cheap to fork over the cash for new tires then you eat your ****. Tires in the rear look flat as paper.

dont think from the pic you can tell if the tires are bald, sunlight and dirt could hid the tread pattern.
