    Street racing, people on the road, cyclists crossing, and the inability to handle your own car?

    Idiots...


    From my experience, a C6 on ice is the only time these cars start to get squirrelly. Even in the snow, with the right tires, they are manageable.

    That video got both of those guys arrested. One tried to leave the scene of the accident. The other in the trees lied to the cop. So instead of just traffic violations, they got misdemeanors and felonies applied to their records as well.

    The C6 apparently was still on dealer tags too.

    Apparently one of the officer's comments, "Arrested... Well, the driver on the left was 23 and called his parents immediately. As soon as we placed him in cuffs his mom started screaming to go to the hospital. So we sent him to the hospital and decided to cut the other guy loose due to the kid not going to jail. Warrants are being issued for both of their arrests now. "

    I suppose I should feel bad about feeling good about that video.

    ..... but I don't. :twisted:

    That, BTW, is the main reason I don't street drag Vettes in my Neon.
