Of course it was the driver! The car did not wreck itself! Road? Driver should be paying attention! Weather conditions? Police write tickets for Too Fast For Conditions! (Do they give the car a ticket or the driver?) Other than a blow out (where the driver should still be able to save it) or a broken axle...anyway you look at it...the driver wrecked the car! Dumb driver!

Hey I'll take it and fix it. Send it to me. Seriously tell me where I can pick it up and I come get it and fix it..HAHA I sure it still runs awesome.

Maybe if they actually caught this on camera and the presenters abuse Aaron Gold the way we all are and the way he deserves they might actually have something funny AND original

That is the difference between thinking you know how to drive and knowing how to drive. A million dollars of computers on board a car will not over ride the laws of physics.

hognutz · 02-27-2012, 07:44 PM

ha ha. so lossing a car makes you an idiot and stupid???? if you have never spun a car out I have to say 100% you are a puss.

Every pro driver in the world is stupid and an idiot then.

there is no person in the world with much seat time pushing a car to the limit that has not lost one. no way no how.

j/k

Top Gear USA's main sponsor is Ford. I'm very suspicious about their ability to be unbiased. We'll see.

Exactly...and it was the drivers fault...not the car! Nice, proved my point.

Disturbing... However looks like a total loss to me. I will provide my shipping address to GM and offer $3,995 for it shipped as is

I'm going to low ball this guy... I'd give 3,990 for said car if it is indeed totaled.

Does suck to see an awesome car bite it, but that's what they are there for. To be raced, enjoyed, and every now and then wrecked.

Don't be too hard on Aaron guys. How do you know the limits if you don't cross 'em once in a while?

Now that we know he's ok, I just want to see the video!
