Default Rattler

The Rattler across the highway is way more fun than take of the Dragon

No totals there. Easily repairable.

Someone actually intelligent commenting on this post, nice! Idk why everyone assume "two morons" wrecked their cars. If both cars crossed the yellow line it would have been a head on collision. Just because there are 2 wrecked corvettes doesnt mean they were both doing 100mph and driving like maniacs on the dragon. All it takes is 1 person to do something dumb.

Youre awfully quick to blame both. At first look I’d say Red understeered and took out the Grand Sport. I really don’t know but it’s pretty hard to call them both morons.

Without knowing the details maybe one of the C7's was avoiding a bike and crossed over slightly hitting the other Vette? I drove the Dragon a few years ago and there certainly lots of opportunities for trouble even when you are doing nothing wrong! It all happens very quickly...

I agree 100% on this it can go bad really fast even a ton worse for some people on the 2 wheel machine. I don't get over 40 mph on the road any more just to many crazy's out here now. Robert

I'm sure they were doing the speed limit when the accident happened too.

No, it's not. Both drivers are morons. See? Not hard at all.

It might be hard to JUSTIFY calling both morons, though.

Yep, chrome wheel owners are old and that leaves the black wheel owners as the morons.

The word is the red C7 ran wide on a corner and nailed the dark gray car. Apparently they are both from Ontario so I wonder if they knew each other.

More not smart enough to go the track if they want to drive fast and play race car around blind corners. Too stupid! The Dragon? Oregon has many mountain roads just as curvy fact I doubt the Dragon can match some of Oregon's mountain roads
and passes. I came around a curve and 12 ELK were standing on the road. Instant death for you and the ELK I was able to stop from 70 mph at night around a dark curve. Not smart anytime on mountain curves you never know what is around the next one.

^^^^^This is too funny. THEY were too stupid to be racing around BLIND curves, but not at nite at 70 mph on a Dark curve in Oregon.

Looks Like one of those geniuses had the new rear steer model of the C7.
