Kid wrecks dad's '69 P/T Camaro

[Gearhead Dude]

I found this over at bangshift.com? Does anyone in the New Jersey area know this car? http://www.bangshift.com/forum/index.php?topic=14056.0.

:pat: That's even worse than the video of the kid driving his dad's brand new Shelby mustang through the garage wall; at least that could arguably qualify as an accident. This is just being wreckless and stupid. I can't imagine how mad I'd be if that was my car and my kid :machine:

Also, I read in there that he cracked the rear end :confused: Holy crap, how fast must he have been going when he wrecked?? And down a residential street nonetheless

WOW! new sport....Yard touring? Maybe Yard Jobbing? What an ididot.

Drunk with power. It happens sometimes. Glad no one got hurt!

I think I know that car. Saw it at Bear Mtn cruise a few times, young kid driving it. Seemed like a real nice guy. If I recall it had a all allum bill mitchell or like crate motor, nicely done. Had electric exhaust dumps.

We were all young and stupid once :) Glad he is ok.

I would seriously have to go for a walk before I went into the house.

Agreed - some of us have graduated to being old and stupid. :)

Driving a stick with no shoes = not smart. That didn't cause the wreck, but it's still dumb.

For all the stupid @#*+ I did as a kid, I never once put a scratch on any of my parents rides. Yet when I was 18 my father damn near totaled my first brand new truck when it was three months old. I had barely made the first payment! I always seem to get things backwards . . .

:here!:That sucks. hard to beleive the clutch stuck though. DADs gonna be little pissed.

Some of our parents were the above and only allowed us to have underpowered, 4cyl cars. :( I tried to dump the clutch on the '78 Pinto, but 83hp through a 4spd manual and 2.75 gears didn't want to even chirp the tires. :p

Dad told me about his '65 Mustang (in ~'76) doing burnouts in the Post Office parking lot, after hours and blowing up the rear end.

Cops pulled him over while he was pushing it home and helped him out.

I really wish he had kept that car, and the '50s Nomad he traded the stang for.

my brother did something similar with my dad's 67 camaro. he got on it too hard coming out of the school parking lot drove up a steep small hill got tons of air and came down on top of a mercury cougar. the camaro was fixable but the cougar wasn't.

he'll never live that one down.

I sure wish they'd teach the concept of the "friction circle" in driver's ed. Sure would have saved me some problems in my younger days.
