Default Bad break !

Coming home from the outlets here on eastern Long Island at 5:00pm and saw a c6 Zo6, silver with competition rims, hit on the exit 70 overpass. Hope it's not one of our forum members. Didn't look too bad, probably needs driver quarter panel and rear fascia. Taken out by a Kia no less.

oh wow. That's horrible. Hopefully all parties were alright.

Reminds me of one evening out on the town and whitnessing a lady in a little beat-up Hyundai rear-ending what looked to be a Porsche 996, at a decent clip.

I often pass right through there with my silver coupe.

I'll be sure to stay away from any KIAs!

Most KIA end up DOA after 6 mos due MIA quality and the fact that they are POS.

So, I was driving my beater truck today, like most days, and decided to start thinking as if I was driving something I cared a lot more about, how would my behaviour differ.

For starters, I would swear a lot more at people within 10 meters of me, because they are dangerous. Especially logging trucks that decide to overtake camper vans up a hill right as I'm about to pass them, dumping a metric ton of wood chips in my face while doing so.
