Default Bonehead move on TV

If you have SpeedTV watch the Dumbest Stuff on Wheels episode that will air at 11:30 P.M. eastern tonight 2/29/2012. They run an ongoing segment showing a Nassau Blue C5 FRC being driven by someone (hope not a member) goofing off on a fairly twisty road. By the end of the show the score is TREE 1, Corvette 0. Really sad to see.

I think I've seen that one. It's been around for a number of years.

Apologies then. They offered the show as a new episode. Who knew? Obviously not me.

I saw that last night and admit the crash portion has been on Youtube for a while but had never seen the rest of the footage prior to the crash before. Very strange wreck too.....to lose control like he did when it doesn't seem he's punching it or anything.
