Wrecked the snake today. Prolly going to get totaled. Damage to the front and the rear. I wasn't driving fast, it was a very hot day, short rain burst made the pavement very very slick. Rear end kicked out in a sharp curve, got a Toyota Corrolla with the front (glancing blow), then spun around and nailed a Dodge Ram in the right front tire with the back of the snake. Sub Frame welds still intact so there is my ray of hope. Total distance from initial loss of traction to the car being stopped was less than 50 yards. A total accident, I would feel better about it if I had been driving like I usually do, then I could blame me for it. 3 cars, 5 people involved, no injuries so that is something to be thankful for. Not sure how much I will get if it is totaled, the car is paid off. Anyway, be careful out there. Peace

Man, that's a drag.

Glad you and everyone else are OK.

Have read too many of these posts over the last 2 years. Agree with you that we need to be careful out there!

Can you tell us what your rear tires were? A lot of guys have lost the rear in the wet with drag slicks.

No Prob, running a set of Pirelli P7000 Supersports w/about 600 miles on them.

BTW, if they total it since I have the title and own the car, there will be some stock parts going back on it and I will have some pieces parts for sale.

Glad to hear that you are okay and that no one was hurt. Car can be fixed or replaced, but you can't.

Sorry to hear about your crash. I'm glad no one was hurt. Drag radials?

All of our insurance rates will now be kicked up a tiny little bit. The more Cobras that crash, the worse off we all are. :(
