I can pass just one more before my exit...
It'll save me 1-2 seconds.

Sometimes, you've just got to keep going and turn around.
I suspect that was a scary, and expensive lesson. It could have been much worse.

People buy a Sport car and all of a sudden they thing they are a Sport Car driver. We had this discussion last night. It was cigar night. Weird!

(mandatory) On the upside some 2000 wet sand paper and some polish will take those marks right out. Doubt if it even cut thru the clear coat.
Unlearned if meth or lots of booze.

There are entirely too many idiots on the road. He deserves all of that damage and luckily some innocent driver was not involved.

Wow... I wonder if the driver was hurt when the door pushed in and rearwards.
It would be all too easy to have your arm in the wrong place.

Another few feet farther and he would have pulled a Grosjean.

It's amazing to me, that the collision didn't put the Camaro into a spin.

I thought the same. Didn't even seem to fishtail or anything. Must have been a barely glancing blow. And the fact that the end of the guardrail is designed to give to absorb a collision probably helped.

I thought that was a Stirling Moss quote. Something to the effect that "there are two things to which no man will ever admit: that he is not a good driver or a good lover."

I don't think those are effective enough to completely eliminate an issue that was due to side swiping something.

Well when the car weighs 3,400 pounds (more than some SUVs) it’s going to be a bit more stable. Newton’s First Law of Motion and all that... Most newer cars are PIGS, the Camaro especially so - it’s huge and it’s not light.
