Z06 Corvette Crash

Saw this on yahoo today, I'm amazed that the driver survived from the damage his car sustained.

Trailer guards are improper blah blah blah. How about you watch where the hell you are going and don't ram one up the ass at 60?

We need to stop cheating Darwin he's trying to help our race.

I heard the driver was just trying to get closer so he could read the "How's my driving?" phone number. He wanted to report the truck was going to slow.

If you look at the pic you can see him reading.

Gah guys, accidents happen. Thats as if people complained about our crash ratings on the Camaro and you responded with.. Just don't crash and it will all be fine?

What if it was a mechanical problem that caused someone to ram up under the truck.. never know the situation.

I'm just glad the driver was able to survive a crash like that. Regardless of the situation, hitting a trailer from behind like that will always be pretty bad.
