Apparently this was at a Ride and Drive event at the Texas State Fair, someone driving a '14 Impala lost it and plowed into these cars sitting there....

GD Impalas.

I hate Impalas... A bit off topic... but because I've come across quite a few cocky Impala drivers on the road that think their 300hp SS is enough to test my patience. The friggin' hoodlum rims they put on are enough to weigh their *** down to start with.

I wanted to know that too. Does the guy who was driving the Impala have insurance?

When I drove the cars at the Texas State Fair a couple weeks ago they did not verify insurance. My ride along guy also didn't say squat when I punched it on the last part weaving through the banners.

You had to have a valid drivers license and pass a breathalyzer test. I'm guessing the person who did this probably just walked away. I don't see how they can do anything to you if you wreck the car.

I drove the truck and the Stingray yesterday at this event. All the vehicles had Texas Manufacturer plates and the Stingray I drove had a tad over 1100 miles. I suspect these are probably show mules that get paraded around the state for various functions and what not. The leather on the side of the drivers seat in the one I was in was already tearing apart toward the headrest. I bet these will never be sold to the public. Maybe reconditioned and sold to rental car company, sent back to GM and studied or put out to pasture.
