NO brains, lotsa money

Some people have more money than brains ............. Seriously, how many of you would take a new Z06 and beat it like this doing a burn out contest?????? The movie shows how he tore up the fender quarter and rear fascia, I guess he decided to rip off the quarter after the event. A hell of a burn out but it was VERY costly and IMHO dumb

How much fun is 30 seconds worth? More $$$ than brains? That might not be such a bad thing.
MY COMMENT...never buy a pre owned Vette. Never.

1 Minute burn out =
$500 quarter panel
$1000 rear fascia
$1200 paint parts/scratched body
$900 tire replacement
??? door sill, drive train wear, wheel replacement, tow home, etc
Explanation to the wife ....... priceless

I think I could find better things to do at $3600+ per minute ...... I agree that buying any used performance vehicle is risky.

I've seen guys at bike events do the same dumba$$ stuff. Also makes me wonder about the people in the stands cheering.

Like waiting for the Bull to die. I enjoy watching other people destroy their own property.

How bad does one need attention? I'd rather watch him beat his head against a wall.

1luckydog · 10-29-2007, 03:13 PM

I wonder if he tried to use his tire inflator kit?

Somewhere in the first minute I heard the announcer say the driver was the plant manager of the Vette plant. I'd say he was just drumming up some business.
