You go off a corner into the barrier wet or dry, it spells out you can't drive at all. Fired.

What happened was he hit the guardrail on the opposite side then bounced into the wall. My guess is he was just going really fast.

Well they all get crushed in the end anyways.

"We can confirm that during routine testing, a Stingray was involved in a one-car accident.

"During evaluation, the inside tire caught the edge of the pavement during a tight corner, leading to the accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt, the car received only minor damage, and no citations were issued."

Ehh that'll buff right out.

Hope no one was hurt, but he's never gonna live that down.

Wonder how his entry in the log book will read?
"While driving in the mountians I swerved to miss a cow and lost control"
Could have been the same Cow that is in this thread from Camaro 5...

This one was bought brand new and only 26 hrs later and with 96 miles on it, this guy decides to take it up through a mountain road. He came around a blind corner and swerved to miss a cow in the road. He over corrected and slid down the side of a clif backwards. The car is totaled and they servived but a little banged up. Also, the owner was forwarned about a bulliten stating that GM recommends not to drive the car below 30 degrees I think and especially not below 20 degrees because the tired become very hard and need to warm up considerably. Well, lets just say he didnt listen to well.
