Ouch to soon to ask for details?

**basballny2** · 02-19-2010, 11:17 PM

damn man sorry to hear about that.....everyone ok?

**Y2K_CAMARO** · 02-20-2010, 01:03 AM

Sorry to hear that. Hope everyone's ok. How did it happen?

**VTXrider** · 02-20-2010, 09:22 AM

Yeah not really to soon for details. I was going to my girls house from dinner following her mother. Let's just say she has an M63 AMG and we were playing. The mom took one turn so I thought I'd go the other way and beat her. Of course the "fun" button was pushed. I slid around the corner and got to heavy into the gas to soon spun it into a concrete barrier and then wrapped it around a tree.

Lets just say I have a new respect for having as much weight as we carry in this car, steel is a good thing!

So I've never really done the picture thing, how do I post pics?

Oh and yes everyone is fine, although I am starting to get quite sore

**SuperSport346** · 02-20-2010, 09:30 AM

That really sucks about the car, but glad to hear you're ok!

*sigh* Man's gotta know his (and his cars) limitations...

YIKES!!! Good thing you lived to tell about it. W40s are rare indeed, but you can find another goat, W40 or not. Just learn that these cars can bite back.

At his rate, in another 47 years the 'new' GTOs will be as rare as the '63 GTO made by Ferrari. Those sell for about $225K now. So if you're in your 20's drive carefully, keep it waxed, and fund your retirement. If you're in your 60's, as am I, carry on.
