I was driving down the road thinking about this thread. I found it to be a little ironic that the moment he looked down, is when the tahoe slammed its brakes. but now that I see an 18 year old was driving it.. I see he wasn't the primary driver.. but was this his car? I don't know about you guys but I know my shifter like my ****, its second nature.
In a corvette you are so low to the ground that when you have a big *** tahoe in front of you where you can't see in front that slams on their brakes all of a sudden is hard as hell to avoid. 18 years old or 40 years old the same thing could happen to either.

It is called a freak accident, Iron.

Well it only took one time for me, but I ran a 1989 chevy spectrum into the back of a camaro, in the rain.
I blame your parents. No one would have written an insurance policy on him and that car, at least not one he could afford. I doubt anyone would have financed an 18 year old either.
If your parents finance him another vette, well, they be damn stupid!

Accidents happen, just because he was a young person driving a fast car does not mean it was the stereotypical young kid trying to show off or do something stupid. It could have just been... an accident.
Would you rather him have been driving a larger, slower car with less braking capability that may have caused a higher impact collision?
I don't get all the criticism, mustang0672 I am glad your brother is okay.

I think old people look at the generation and see nothing good.
Well - yeah - most of this generation has gone to hell - probably 85% of my generation is f*ing stupid.
BUT - for those of the 15% - we do some pretty impressive things. This summer, I'm putting myself through skydiving school. Next year, I'm getting a CFII rating. This summer I'm getting my CDL.
So they need to stop giving crap.
