Re: Fiberglass from a M roadster...hmmm (archive)

Sorry but I am a vette driver, I see anything that is not metal, and think it is fiberglass(:)). ITs more of a plastic. And it is bent,the stress of the bend there are all these "square" marks in it where it is kinda rough, I dont know how to describe it. Anyways there are 10ft skid marks then all of a sudden there was the 360 spin out marks.

I was just wondering if the guy posted here. Make sure everything was alright. It was a beautiful car, and It hurts for anything that fine to be crashed. I hope he gets it fixed(even though I figure a new one would probably be better)

Today around 4 oclock me and my friend JW, were going to the movies. We got on 287 to get on RT 7 to go to sterling to the cinema. Well on the ramp there is a crosswalk for joggers, so I politely stop and let them coss before entering. What do I see behind me?? A brand new ///M z3 Vert(I think that is what it is called). Well I was like, Im not racing him, and my friend just got out of an accident a week ago, so its a NO GO. But this guy doesn't have ESP so he doesn't know. So the ramp is a windy S. Well I was going 55 (it was a 45mph ramp). Well once the ramp straighten out I see him DART over ASAP to the other lane, down shift and fly around 70, he got about 40 ft in front of me, then all hell broke lose. He started fish tailing, into my lane. Dide a 360 crashed into the guard rail, about 10 ft in front of me(I was in the right lane) he stopped( I was like .). I pulled over into the shoulder behind him. He came running out, I said "are you alright" he says "yea, its my fault, my stupidity" And ran out to clear the wreckage from the road. I sit there, and a Truck driver on the other side of the road shouts and asks if he is ok, then if I am ok. He comes back and says "none of it hit you right?" I say "no I didn't see anything hit me" He says "good, I got a phone in the car I Will call the cops" My friend says " so is it ok if we go now?" he says "yes". And off we went. I was shaking to death practicly, going 45 in the right lane...

Off to go see "driven" great movie to see after this.

After the movie , we decided to survey the wreckage on the way back, there was glass everywhere, and HUGE skid marks. I got a small piece of FiberGlass as a momento and reminder to keep it on the track.

I'm just glad I wasn't racing or I would have NAILED him.

I guess you could say I wasn't in the accident, just a witness.
