What a complete idiot. If he knew anything about driving he could have felt the tires were not spinning. Besides that, have you ever been behind a semi with a brake dragging? Clutches smell the same. Knock knock. Hello---anybody home?

Probably a well-abused clutch that was breathing it's last.
I don't think this is Chevrolet's fault. It's Dimwit's fault. |

I think he started crying at the end. Sounded like a sob.

Just me, but I don't get it. Why in the world?? Fun is fun, but, that poor car has had a very rough life.

"That was not the tires"
"What was it" "I don't know" Good grief. More proof that money != brains Exactly, you should easily be able to tell when the tires are spinning or not spinning. Sound, feel, smell, and even the huge lack of smoke (compared to roasted tires).

Is it just me, or does that Vette look like those "smurf" cars that have been floating around the emails for a while??? It looks too short.

That dude deserves what he got, an expensive lesson on how not to drive a car. That dumbass should have his man card revoked, and not allowed to drive anything that is not automatic and has 100 HP maximum.

Poor chap. What do you do if you smoke a clutch? Open the hatch.
