another cars and coffee crash.. not a mustang this time, a dodge viper..

not sure which is worse, the Viper drivers actions or the idiot crowd cheering because he wrecked a super car.. then all swooping in to take pictures of the damage and not even checking if the driver is ok.. bunch of morons, driver included.

Its not like he hit something and all motion stopped thus leading to a massive injury (not likely). Looks like his pride and pocketbook will take a hit tho. At least he didnt take anyone else with him!

I laughed at his mad skillz.... My bad =/

I was at a cars and coffee in Supra few months ago and when leaving some in the crowd wanted a burnout and "backfire" I did neither and heard boos and saw thumbs down lol. I cater to no demands from strangers and friends know better. Depends how long sitting at these events tires will get cold on that Viper traction was probably turned off.

I agree fully I was leaving a car show and got called a "pu$$y" because i wouldnt do a burnout, I don't care your not paying for my tires, wear and tear on my car, and possible tickets so I will act like a jackass when it damn well pleases me haha

I watched some moron (a kid who looked like he was in his early 20s) do that to a Nissan 300ZX Turbo some years ago. Wasn't even at a car show...he was just trying to show off coming out of a long private driveway. He severely impacted his lower front end at the end of the ramp, bounced up, spun out, and missed hitting me and a friend of mine (who were walking on the sidewalk) by maybe 15-20 feet. We went up to see if the driver and passenger were OK, but the driver was in a mental rage, almost in shock, and beating his fist up and down the dash. (if my memory is correct, it was his dad's car)

Folks.....this is why young male drivers pay so much to insure high-performance cars. Even the ones who do drive sensibly at that age (as I did) end up having to help foot the bill for the morons.

Awesome, more evidence regarding my theory that driving a Cry Slur lowers mental acuity

second one this week

loved the slow motion replay of the crash

it was super considerate of the kid who brought the cones over

that makes sense, and would have made more sense if this was a thread about a Chrysler, but it is a thread about a Dodge.

and before anyone decides to get into the whole "same company" crap, if you won't call your Lexus a Toyota.......... blah blah blah
