Ouch!. The first time I drove the dragon a mustang GT comes around one of the many blind turns completely in my lane. WTF is wrong with people, I have fun on the dragon but always stay in my own lane on any blind turns. Bet those 2 are totals.

FRIGGIN chrome wheels caused this! I'm sorry couldn't help noticing both cars with them. I'm sure both didn't sleep well that nite or maybe several. At least it appears no one was injured looking at impact areas. Someone definitely crossed center line for those impact points to line up. Most of us have been lucky (I know I have) driving with way too much enthusiasm thinking we are "racing heroes". If either of them are on here, maybe after some time to reflect, he/they/her will explain the circumstance but then again I doubt I could post here & face the shame & ridicule that surely would follow. Good luck to both parties.

Owned my first Vette for 8 months now. One think I've noticed. When they get in a wreck, the don't bend. That is some ugly stuff right there. I would be sick if that were mine.

Well, the core chassis might bend eventually, but it is pretty robust.


All the stuff hung off it is going to absorb impact, of course, but I don't think plastic is going to bend much.
