car show casualty

[Mystic ZR-1]

A Shelby Mustang owner had a minor mishap at a local car show this afternoon.
Seems his display of horsepower and driver skill didn't go as planned!!![-X

[Kevin]

no big loss really, just a mustang

[We Gone]

What a shame, just hope no one was hurt.

[efnfast]

Quite the fender bender Doug. Yikes! Glad Bertha never learned how to do that.

[Mystic ZR-1]

The driver(?) walked away, actually, I don't think he walked. The rumor was he was
"Cuffed & Stuffed" the cops weren't too happy...

[RodB]

Too much Armoral on the tires!!

[-=Jeff=-]

What the hell did he do? Doesn't he know.. Shiny side up

[ZR-1nce removed]

Looks to me like most of that should buff right out....

[RICKYRJ1]

If the Shelby guys are anything like us that guy is already getting inquiries about what parts will be available for sale lol

Tough Crowd!

Theres always at least one at every show.

[BigJohn]

I guess he just didn't know his limitations!!!
I realy don't like seeing anyone wreck their car.
I wonder how long he's owned it?

:confused:

Doug, did you say "HI" to Larry for me?

Paul was right. The red cars can really fly. :dancing

[rkreigh]

very good advice Pete

there are old pilots and bold pilots

but very few old bold ones

LBA @ 180 but it ends quickly there too.

like the show says "let's be careful out there"

with the cool air and now bald runcraps, even a bit of gentle prodding on the LSV brings some unexpected wheelspin

time to get those haneous excuse for a tire off the beast before it succumbs to a nearby pole

been there, done that. I wrecked a beautiful 70 Formula firebird with a 400, 4 spd, 4.10 gears when I was a kid. jabbed the throttle and spun it at 30 mph. car hit a pole after jumping the curb on the drives side

roof buckled and I was staring at the pole. another 10 inches of uncontrolled drift and my head would have been a watermelon shooter.

my wife (then girl friend) despite HATING the car, stepped in and loaned me the money to buy a little RX3 (was in MINT condition) for cheap to get me back on the road

although I already knew "she was the one" it sure bailed me out.

and I'll never forget the sound that car made. the pole didn't move. bent the car so bad that both doors wouldn't open, and the window crank snapped off because the pass side window was jammed we had to crawl through the broken glass and shinny past the pole to get out.

cops were not pleased, but when they saw all the sand on the road that had been dragged out of the parking lot (winter time, snow had just cleared) they understood what happened. when I "hit it" it was like the car was on roller skates

moral of the story, apply the power judiciously and under "known good" conditions. I've had too many friends seriously hurt by getting out of shape.

sorry for the soap box!!:blahblah:

Appears he was "upside down" on his note...

(and gosh, I'm really an old Mustang guy too)

Reminds me of the famous words from this man.

"I was going faster than I ever went in my whole life, then I fell off."
