Last night\'s VCA meeting \"crash\"

A MN member traded his Viper Days prepped GTS for a RT/10 about a month ago was showing off. He lost it in the parking lot after our VCA meeting and went straight into a light pole. He had the car for less than a month, only 3K miles on it.

My email last night before the meeting to him:

"Looks like I will miss Billabongs tonight…

I was looking forward to seeing XXXXXXX's car too…

Next time…

Don’t do anything in that parking that I wouldn’t"



:doh:

I still find it hard to believe that "successful" adults can get themselves into this. Showing off??? WTF?

I still need a '97-'99 computer. What year is his wreck?

Re: Last night\'s VCA meeting \"crash\"

That's a big dollar "show off"....

Here's my guess:

Hood
Hood hinges
fascia
inner radiator scoop
radiator surround panels
oil cooler
power steering cooler
inner fender liners
Core support
Radiator
Airbox
Misc bits and badging

parts only - $24K (retail)

Add paint and labor....

Oh my.

But my guess is that he'd gladly pay that if it would stop the harassment that is bound to come after doing that kind of damage in a parking lot - AND he wasn't even "racing" Red5.

Looks like he needs more track instruction and shouldn't have sold his GTS....

I bet he felt real dumb. Especially after a VCA meeting. :slap:

Sapphire = 01

Hard to believe he hit dead center. The car has ABS.
He should have been able to angle off it a little.

"Could" being the operative word there. It certainly only "would" actually happen to a rare intelligent self-confident few.
