Canada: Hope this guy wasn't a member. Leaving scene of accident not cool.

That is terrible. Like an officer friend of mine says - a 400Hp 4,000 lb car can be a lot more dangerous than any gun ever made.

Please C5 members - always remember to wear your seat belts and drive responsibly. This was no accident. It should never have occurred. :(

P.S. Totally off topic, but cool Avatar pic.

Do not drink and drive! Wear your seatbelts! How many times do we have hear this. Both sad stories.

This is why there are so many groans when a young guy pops up with a thread about their new Camaro. The maturity level just isn't there and even in the rare case when it is the skill to control a 400+hp car definitely isn't. Sad story. :(

It's all about respect....respect the power that is under the hood and respect life...yours and others!

This is why I always "freek" when I here that some 16 years old just got a new SS Camaro from there parents. I remember what I did at 16, 17 and 18 years old and the cars I had then were not as powerful and FAST as the SS camaro. Most of the cars I had back then only would muster up a top speed of 120MPH if I was lucky, the new Camaro will go 150+ MPH. People, young and old, BE CAREFUL AND THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS CAN DO!

blackknight · 06-20-2010, 08:17 AM

This is very eye opening. I am 22 years old and I just purchased a new camaro. Although, i believe i am a little bit more mature than most 22 year olds you might meet. I know where to drive fast (freeway speedlimit) and where to stick to the speed limit.

R Kern · 06-20-2010, 08:26 AM

Two of the big ones, not wearing seat belts, and speeding will do it every time. A shame, because it could have been avoided.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

Quote "Fetter was traveling east on Route 869 at a very high rate of speed when his car failed to negotiate a left-hand curve.

The car then ran off the right side of the road and struck a utility pole, overturned several times and struck a large tree, police said.

The car then overturned again and came to rest on its roof."

This is terrible....I hope the best for his family

Sadly, I know the Fetter's I can't get in touch with them right now to find out if it was a relative.

Now on the other hand, Man charged after crashing Camaro in Dartmouth needs

, at his a$$ kicked, but whatever happened to police having the ability of shutting down the car?........this could have ended quick if they had done this

mhood · 06-20-2010, 08:59 AM

Generalizations and stereotypes are rarely helpful. This is a senseless, tragic accident and our sympathies and concerns should be with the families and friends affected.
