Why is this guy an idiot? The car is easily repairable. He entartained a huge crowd. I was selling at the show on L row (Space L88 is mine by the way), and you could hear that car doing a burnout from L row. The cloud was massive!!!! The crowd went crazy for about 10 minutes. Glory in my opinion guys, glory was had for that gentleman.

Doing a mean burnout is one thing. Purposely blowing out your tires and ripping up a quarter panel on a brand new car is another. Even if money is no object, I can't condone that IMO.

But what about all of these fine "numbers matching" musclecars that are in a "strange abundance" today and on e-bay

-------I dunno, whos the maroon??? Cooksey did it as a promotion and got a bunch of good PR off of this stunt. Everybody there seemed to think it was cool. As well, the car was a mule, I believe, and therefore would get crushed anyway..........Bill S

Any time a performance car disintegrates during a demo, it is probably not a good thing.
