I do my best to take care of my cars, they're not brand new but I do my best. I park far away from people, never take my mustang out to the bar, never leave it outside in the rain or snow. If I beat on it, I check all mechanicals and fluids before and after, etc...
Well, yesterday I stopped by to say hi to a friend who manages a Sprint store. We were talkin it up when a BEAUTIFUL, brandnew ZR-1 corvette pulled into the lot. The owner walks in and asks about getting his bluetooth hooked up in the corvette. We quickly realized that the owner (probably mid 40's) was 3 sheets to the wind drunk! My friend hooked him up and he was on his way. As he pulled out of the parking spot he lit up the tires and took off out of a busy strip mall parking lot. Right afterwards one of my friend's employees made the comment "I have a feeling that car is gonna live a hard life" 5 minutes later he came back in the vette and pulled up in the same spot. He pulled in really fast and completely took out his lower front facia on the concrete parking curb. Four people in the store witnessed this with an "OUCH! That really sucks" The owner gets out as if he has no idea that he messed up the front of his sweet ZR-1 and walks into the store. He couldn't figure out how to operate the bluetooth and asked my friend for help. He hooked him up and was on his way. He backed out ripping the front up even more and was off down the road. It makes me cringe when I see dumb people messing up very nice cars. I realize it's their car, they paid for it, they can do what they please, but on a limited production, expensive car....I hate to see them damaged by drunks behind the wheel. Have you seen anything as stupid as that? Lets hear it
