An accident waiting to happen
 
Was getting gas this morning-on a pump next to me I observed a gentleman who had tone in his 80's, he could barely get out of the car--it didn't fit him

The car is a 650HP ZO6--wouldn't take much for a mishap

Great, now we are reporting accidents before they even happen! Welcome to Minority Report in TV

I wonder what that guy was thinking as he looked around?

graciegirl 02-02-2018 11:42 AM

I am spellbound.

billethkid 02-02-2018 11:43 AM

he was thinking.....one is never too old....doing it while he still can....

I personally do not think hp/age is any more a factor than all the other elder driver kamikazees on the road in and around TV...

Thurman Munson & JFK Jr. were killed in crashes of planes they owned ,which were proven to be above their skill level-

I am having difficulty keeping up with the subject. Is it trains, planes or automobiles? It certainly couldn't be age. Not HERE!

Its not age , but do you think you could handle a car that can go 0-60, under 3 secs--not much room for error= when I got my AA fuel car I had to be licensed before I could drive--that was over 50 years ago , and guess what the person who sold me the car signed my license==had no idea what I was in for , the first time I drove and it was the last time I drove it

Reminds me of a scene in Steve Martin’s L A Story movie where the camera focuses on a red Ferrari convertible with the top down. Next thing, a couple of walkers get tossed in behind the seats and two Q-tips hop in and roar off.

:thumbup: I think you are right! He said it also ran on top-shelf vodka.... after 2 it cornered like a snake in a rat hole. Probably a hell of a "babe magnet" too!

Right!

Was that the same guy that was too feeble to reach down to get his mail?

Hope it's not a four speed. Those cars are best left to those with better mobility, reflexes and vision.
