Default Wrecked Viper RT-10. We arrived just

The wife and I were out in the S today (05/01/05) exploring some fresh blacktop up towards the Poconos this afternoon. Came around a corner at a nice clip and saw some rocks strew about the road. Slowed down a bit and noticed an older, well dressed couple standing roadside. They waved us down and over and asked for a ride, that's when we saw the Black Convertible Viper down the embankment spewing out it's vital fluids. The whole front end was torn off, the air filters were 15 feet away from the car, headlights, turnsignals and plastic everywhere.

I gave the woman a ride to their house, it was just down the street. The next car to come by gave the driver and owner of the Viper a ride to the house. These two were obviously in TOTAL shock and the woman was visibly in pain but not bleeding and she could stand and walk.

To make a long story short, the way I see it, he came out of the driveway with cold tires, got on it and going from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 the rear tires lit up and launched them off the embankment straight into a tree on the passengers side. Then the momentum carried the car almost 180* toward the drivers side around the tree.

I didn't have my digicam w/ us but I did run and get a disposable........

It'll take the entire line of products, but I'm pretty sure Zaino will buff that right out!



































Just a lil humor. Only offered because the couple is okay . Glad everyone walked away from that. Sad to see such a fine ride scrunched up into the foliage .
