Heard about this yesterday, with no details.

:(

I guess that's part of the game, but it sucks when it actually happens.

I'm not about to browse 9 pages of another forum to find it, but was there ever any confirmation other than "a friend's mom who is best friends with....." ?

Specializes in Corvettes.

I saw a bit recently on AutoTrend TV where they tested a 'vette he'd just finished for some guy. Twin-turbo...800+hp...looked pretty much stock. Me want. :D

Eh, it was still bad. Even though he was racing, it's still sad when anyone gets injured.

Oh shut up. Just because you are a bitter person with no morals doesn't mean the rest of us are.

I'm sure *HE* didn't need his car to crash, but to someone, somewhere, this may have a different influence. Maybe, maybe not.... Noone can say.

Wow... someone got their panties in twist, didn't they?

How can a car flip SIX times? (I'm sure its possible but that seems kinda high)

How can you lose ALL YOUR TEETH? No way man, I don't care what happened, you will never ever lose ALL your teeth, especially wearing a helmet. (Unless he had a specially made mouthguard bolted into his mouth, which was tied to a chain attached to a wall. He drove 200mph and the chain tightened and removed ALL of his teeth.

I don't buy it.
