Another departure from a Cars & Coffee gathering has ended badly, this time involving a scarce 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The crash adds to a frustrating pattern of drivers losing control while exiting these popular enthusiast events in front of crowds.
Observers have long argued that cheering on aggressive exits only encourages reckless behavior. The loss of such a rare machine underscores the need for restraint, reminding the community that showing off rarely ends well when powerful cars meet eager spectators.
Drive your car and stop showing off, you have a powerful car take the responsibility and do the right thing.
If yer character is weak enough you need to show off what you are already showing off, you deserve to wreck.
You can’t fix stupid! These kind of idiots are at every car meet I go to and they always ruin it for us car enthusiast.
I have a ZR1. The Last owner totaled it. Completely repaired now and back on the road. This car even scares me. As soon as I step on the gas hard it slides to the side. I keep the car slow taking off and try to drive safely. It sure is tempting and lots of fun. I agree the peer pressure contributes to unsafe driving. Best thing to do is leave last. Save a life it may be your own.
I guess it’s not only the mustangs running people over and damaging other cars
My thoughts are in the mindset of these rich people with high dollar cars that lack a lot of common sense. The pros are driving on a race prepared track with a professional team that has the skills to set up the car for the track.The professional drivers have been to Pro Driving Schools and have to be licensed as a Professional Driver.The drivers never start a race on cold tires knowing that the race would be a very difficult and dangerous beginning.These local want to be Drivers have no one to blame for their accidents and injuries to others but themselves. Hopefully in time they will get the opportunity to do the right thing and stop the madness and get rid of this stupid thing that they are doing.
Don’t be that guy to ruin it for all others. Once you are labeled its no turning back.
This is so stupid for people who don’t know how to handle a car like to show off. I have a 96 Grand Sport that I have been racing for years, but I do it on a track not the street. Our club gives lessens for people who want to learn how to race their cars on a track. We ask them to race on a track not the street, because you could hurt someone or yourself.
I have a 96 Grand Sport that I race on a track not the street. Our club gives people lessons who want to learn how to race their cars on a track/course. Showing off with your car can hurt other people or yourself. Doing after car show is stupid, plus people won’t want to put on coffee and car shows because of the responsibility.
Nobody needs this kind of horsepower in a car. Your car should not be able to exceed the highest posted speed limit anywhere in the United States. With the exception of emergency vehicles. No ordinary citizen needs a high horse powered assault vehicle.
Agree, I do track events which give me a safe outlet to unleash the car’s performance. It has also made me a calmer driver on public roads and much more situationally aware, where I am happy to keep the idiots ahead of me.
Most of these idiots have no business with anything more powerful than a damn bicycle.
Take to the race track so you can see how good you do against others, any moron can pull out of a parking lot and put the hammer down, at least at the track if you run of talent someone will be there to help or cart you off to the hospital.
It looks really cool when a fast car drives slow. Don’t give in to peer pressure.
Just another frikken idiot.
