Looked at a CTF (Captured Test Fleet) 2014 Z-28 last week.Car was built in Feb 2014 and auctioned off in Nov 2014. Might have worked something out if the dealer didn't think he had a museum piece.
If there's money out there, stuff seems to be for sale.

Seems like it was an honest mistake. The guy looked pretty embarassed and apologized a buncha times. But yes, most of the time, Jalopnik comes off as arrogant to me.

This is the guy who went to jail for reckless driving in a ZL1. What was GM thinking?

His incident is making the rounds, and I posted this only a few minutes ago.

It's mainly a case of driver error. And give him that he admitted as much here.

I give him a pass there... Virginia cops are awful and anything over 80, regardless of speed limit will potentially land you in jail if the officer desires.

Words of advice for anyone driving through the Commonwealth, set your cruise control for the speed limit the second you cross the border and obey it religiously until you exit. Otherwise you're basically guaranteed a ticket, especially in a Camaro.

Lets ease back on the hate. He had a screw up, owned up for it, and clearly feels bad about it. Isn't the first to give too much power at the worst moment, won't be the last.
Most of the mules get crushed anyway.

Don't really care for the tone over there myself - too much arrogance and "car expert" elitism for my taste.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even my wife knows a fender from a 1/4 panel.
This bozo would be better off testing toaster ovens.
