Default Herb Chamber's Ford GT Crashed

I know you High Priced Herb Haters will be interested in this.

Yesterday in Worcester, two folks with the last name Chambers (not Herb) were in a new Ford GT from Herb's dealership (dealer plates on tha car) and cracked it up pretty bad.

I wonder if they had winter tires on the car (I don't think so)?

The air temp was in the 20's yesterday so summer tires would have been like rocks?

Woah, what a shame. Only so many of those things were built and I think 05' is the last year. That sucker was probably on the lot for about 150 grand and I've read people paying $200,000+ to get one. That is an expensive lesson...

I was hoping you would see this one Nice-Face.

My guess is the folks in the car are related to Herb.

The not funny part of the story is that the female passenger had to be taken to the hospital.

My guess is that was George Chambers and his wife...He is Herb's son and always has fast cars at his disposal...i used to be in a band with him years ago but haven't talked to him since we kicked him out 10+ yrs ago...we used to take his Porsche out for some scary rides on the NH back roads back in the day...i heard he got married but never met his wife so i'm guessing that was who the woman was...
