Dragon Corvette

[Mophead]

While on the Dragon a couple of weeks ago this guy tried to move a tree with his new Corvette. Unsuccessful.

That sparks a new saying, "the tree is mightier than the 'vette".

"I fought the tree and the . . . tree won!"

One needs to hone one's skills away from the trees first.

I'll bet he didn't even rustle the leaves!

11 curves in 1 mile....

You could say he's guilty of treeson.

Judging from the scars on the tree, it's been tried before.

Maybe the car driver was dodging a crazy motorcycle rider.......

Had a state trooper come up behind me fast. Found a pull out and let him go and he was gone in a flash. Something going on and yep older gray haired gentleman standing behind the car. Did not envy his phone call home. "Honey, ........................................."

I would say a Miata would have left him in the dust on that road.

Should have leafed it alone...

Yeah, but you're barking up the wrong tree.

Corvette driver to younger Miata dude:

"What are you, boy?! Some kinda doomsday machine?!"

Ouch, expensive repair I'm sure.

People who own this type of vehicle are well off and likely well insured, so he'll be fine.

Downside, depending on who the owner is, is that even repaired he will probably feel differently about the car, it's no longer his pristine baby. Maybe better to get it fixed, sell it and buy a new one.

He should have branched out earlier....!

Surprisingly enough, not always the case. I worked at a GM dealership. You would be surprised how many people put every cent that they can afford, and sometimes more, in to owning the vehicle of their dreams while they live in a crappy rental because that is all they can afford after they make the car payments.

This is so true, at least for me. I never felt the same way about a vehicle that I liked after it was accidented.
