RIP Cobalt SS.

About two hours ago, my SS lost its life. My new dunlops didn't hold up very well on the newly graveled dirt road. Lost control at 50 mph, hit a tree, bounced off hit another.

It's done.

Why the f*ck were you doing 50mph on a gravel road ???

I don't think the dunlops are gravel rated

Use your brain !!! Live & learn, grow up !!!

sorry to hear...but on gravel? isnt a rally car...50? im sure u werent goin straight...prob turning or something...

i wrecked my first car...just a plymouth...breeze...into a telephone...luck i hit it! or else it woulda been a 100 foot+ drop.... i wouldnt be here

its kinda nasty to say, but everyone should get into a accident once...(if they are a bad drive...in any way) to straighten em up...i drive very careful round cars... never hit anyone.....but some dumb bitch hit me!!! talkin to her friend...

oh hell don't tell me you were using track tires on a gravel road?

hopefully no one got hurt, but if that's what happened it was stupid.

Well after his insurance finds out he was using "off road" tires on the street, cancels his policy, and he has to make payments on a car he no longer has he will have no money to get another car. Which will work out in the end because he will now be in high risk insurance and he couldn't afford that ontop of TWO sets of car payments. This is why it pays to use your head a little more and maybe think about what could really happen when you do something you know damn well you are not suppose it do. He's just lucky he didn't kill anybody and have to spend the rest of his life working to pay off a lawsuit settlement. All this is base on weither or not they were really "off road use" tires. Even if thats not true have these are the kind of things that could happen if someone where really in this situation. I do feel sorry for the poor bastard though, "there but for the grace of God go I"

Not "off road" like dirt, "off road" like track only tires.

I'm going to have to agree with everyone on this thread.

1. That sucks, sorry to hear that you totaled your car.
2. Lay off on the guy, he just f'ed up his prized possession
3. BUT why in the F**K were you doing 50 on a dirt road in ANY tires???
