Default trailer > corvette




FRANKLIN LAKES - A Westchester County man died Thursday afternoon in a crash on Route 287.

Joseph Gianelli, 58 of Irvington, N.Y., was pronounced dead at the scene after his Chevrolet Corvette struck the rear of a tractor-trailer at about 1 p.m., near milepost 65, state police said.

The truck, operated by Clouis Oquinn Jr., 52, of Virginia, was parked on a northbound shoulder when the Corvette plowed into it. Oquinn was not injured, officials said.

The crash was under investigation Thursday evening.

trust me, I've locked up the wheels on a C5 with ABS on, and I think anyone would if they were staring at what he was.

Fixed the quote. Really, it's either sleeping or piss-drunk. NASTY looking accident though.

Hey......How do you lock up the tires with "anti-lock" braking?

my S2000 has ABS and even on the track it doesn't lock up unless I am sliding sideways (which i try to avoid if possible).
