-------I dunno, whos the maroon??? Cooksey did it as a promotion and got a bunch of good PR off of this stunt. Everybody there seemed to think it was cool. As well, the car was a mule, I believe, and therefore would get crushed anyway..........Bill S

Any time a performance car disintegrates during a demo, it is probably not a good thing.

What an idiot!! "Lets wreck an expensive new car".

A couple of years ago a guy in a new vette did a burn out at a local car cruise and lost control, went up over a curb and into landscaping and bushes nearly striking spectators at this show. The car was damaged fairly good and the guy had to have it towed. The funniest thing about it all is that a friend of mine is a Police Officer that loves cars. He was on duty and standing by my car talking with some of my friends and me when this guy pulled out and did this. He did not see my friend or the Police Cruiser by us. My friend was kind to him and only wrote him for failure to control and not reckless operation which would have really been a severe ticket!!

Why is this guy an idiot? The car is easily repairable. He entartained a huge crowd. I was selling at the show on L row (Space L88 is mine by the way), and you could hear that car doing a burnout from L row. The cloud was massive!!!! The crowd went crazy for about 10 minutes. Glory in my opinion guys, glory was had for that gentleman.
