Well, that was expensive.

Just proves the ancient adage: The steering wheel of a Viper is just for show.

I have 95 viper. It's a no frills raw vehicle. If you don't treat it with respect it will get sideways on you real quick. This guy is the laughing stock of the viper community

I used to dragrace a lot. (Memphis Motor Speedway.)

I owned a Corvette that I built into a 750hp street monster.

Then I bought a viper ACR. Even after driving that corvette for years, it still took me about a month to get to know that ACR well enough that I wouldnt wrap it around a pole.

Properly driven, that viper's taillights should have been practically out of sight prior to the other car's spinning bicycle tires made it across the intersection.

looks like he missed his turn knowing his front right was flat…

what a dipshite…

Way to go dipshit

Naturally i thought this was gonna be another Sloe* thread.

But, instead of a complete train wreck we get a car wreck instead… dumb***

At least the sign is okay.

So, yea, after watching on a computer screen instead of a little cell screen, my brain went here;

Any of you guys know the answer to this?

Would regular insurance cover something as dumb as this?

Real question, curious.

neg toxicology + full coverage = absolutely

Probably not. There are not too many Gen 2 vipers left out there. And you usually have to go to a specialty insurance company to get the value of a car that old. Considering this video is pretty widespread his insurance company will take one look at it and say you're committing a crime not covered

Actually I read in one of the viper groups he was ticketed for street racing so is insurance is not going to pay that

That’s exactly what I was wondering.

Is wrecking your own car while street racing, even spontaneously, covered?

With video, I’d guess no.

Double ouch on that.

Reminds me of a toy crash car I had when I was a kid. Only those parts would snap back together.

So, what exactly happens---does the rear end just get squirrelly and slide out?

Ever driven an old CJ on a muddy road? Going north while driving south ain’t hard to do.

I thought this going to be a begrudgingly complimentary thread for something good president fubar did.

How stupid of me.

No traction control and no weight on the ass. Tires get loose and the inertial force wants to keep it going. Engine weighs a ton so the backend can only go to the side. It's a driver-centric car, just have to learn how to tame it. I took her out of hibernation this past weekend and was pulling onto the interstate and she got a little loose on me dropping into 3rd. Fun car to drive and super easy to teach someone to drive a stick on

I’m guessing some contracts have that vague cause hidden in the small txt … ‘if I’m a dipshite and anyone could alter video, this policy is null and void’…

yep, that’s about right…

Video yep, but the street racing ticket is probably what will do him in. And he's a f*cking idiot and deserves it.

Happy 420 stink, I heard good news about MS.

Dang---that sounds like it can be a little tricky if you step into it too hard.
