Hope he is ok!

Just because you can afford doesn't mean you can drive it.

Pavilions, Scottsdale. A few weeks ago. Idiot!

Re: Pilots licence required.
 

That's one of the A-Bu-Dhabi boy's that comes up to the Pavillions later in the evening with an entourage of the same.

Parent bought vehicles, anything from Vette's to Veyron's, no expense spared on those rides. Poor palm tree. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

A sign of the times. Everybody standing around with cell phones getting footage instead of helping the guy out of the car or at least giving it some thought. Thank you to the cop that just did his job once again.

That's the trouble -- too many of those folks with piles of $$ think they can drive like AJ Foyt ... they run out of talent real quick. Sure hope the DA is OK ... good think the LEOs arrived to pull him out of the wreck. TAZ

Is there any way that with a wee bit of hard work, JB Weld and a buffer that... Naw, I guess not eh?

I can remember learning how to control a Posi-equipped car. Rainy days were great for experimenting with cross-steer and throttle-steer. Slippery streets made it easy on the tires too. Most of us were on tight budgets and couldn't afford to replace tires all the time!

I own one (C7 Z06/Z07), and I can tell you it does not take much talent. These cars are bulletproof compared to classics.

Really, really bad driver or worse, drunk.

We would see how far out we could make it go without coming all the way around.

Word to the wise...unless the car is on fire, never try to extricate anyone from a wreck. You can cause more harm than good. I have seen the results of that story, with a lawsuit against a drunk driver lost because you can't sue the good samaritan, and there was no way to prove just who caused the crippling injury. Massive bummer for the victim, wheelchair for life, no settlement from the drunk's insurance company. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Re: Pilots licence required.
 

Not discounting what you're saying at all bc I'm sure you're right...but that's the point when you know we as a society have reached a point of total stupidity when a jury or judge can't see negligence on the part of the drunk driver who hit that person due to getting that confused with the person trying to help pull them out.

I know, I get it, and see from the legal point of view, but sometimes u have to call a spade a spade and that right there is insane.
