... or just plain stupid? I was searching for videos of a Corvette on youtube, and I came across something that totally blew my mind.

It takes a real brain trust to jump in his ride and do that on a busy 3 lane road.

Very well said, I couldn't have said it better. This is just a guess, but it looks like the driver shifted into 2nd and stayed in it causing the car to shift violently in the opposite direction, driver couldn't control it and spun all the way around. Amazingly, no one managed to plow into the driver side door. Too bad law enforcement wasn't spectating.

and a quote from the driver of the vette

"I will start off by saying I was being an idiot. I have no excuses for my actions. I am that ***-hat in the vette that almost wiped out.

I usually don't let "peer pressure" get to me, but today it did and I'm really sorry for what happened. I wanted to put on a decent show for you guys so much that instead of lifting when I should have (or not even do anything) I didn't. I kept into it and really screwed up. I'm glad I didn't hit anyone or hurt anyone as it really could have been serious because of my stupidity.

I will not justify what I did, there is no justification. I was absolutely wrong. I know how to be safe, I know when and where to do stupid stuff... and I just ignored that. I put others in danger, let alone myself.

I did briefly talk to Bruce after it happened, but before the burnout and accident, expressing my regret. I am surprised that stuff continued after my close call, but I can't toss a stone while I'm living in a glass house...

I wish I could take it back. I am absolutely ashamed of what I did.

I am extremely sorry that I was part of the stupidity today. I hope you can forgive me.

Andrew"
