That has got to be the funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile
I hope the person that moron hit was ok! If some stupid *** Ford driver hit me like that waiting at a light……I don’t know what I would do, but a large law suite comes to mind.

that could have been a lot worse.
Insurance companies should refuse to pay when people pull that kind of crap.
If he had locked the brakes when it started to slide it would have gone straight and wouldn't have hit anything. Must have been a kid.

Team Owner
I've driven some hot Mustangs over the years. They have a short wheel base and they are not balanced. They are hard to control just in a lightly modified state. The blame is on the owner and a supercharger without extensive suspension mods.
On the other side of the coin. I've seen two Vettes over the years not even make it a 120 feet on the drag strip before they hit the wall hard head on. One of them blamed water on the track from previous cars.
Any car hopped up is a handful to a new driver. I'm sure that Jim would have had a hard time driving his 540 ci if he didn't have years of practice. When I was young I totaled a couple of cars in single car accidents. I've smashed up some on the race track also. It was always failed to negotiate a turn that got me.
So don't be to hard on somebody - just hope that they learn from their mistakes.
