From the scratching on the hood and top, looks like it did a pretty good slide after the orange side went down. Dealer plates still. Sweet.

That's probably Canyon or Calaveras Road.

I thought that was Calaveras Rd too... Or maybe Mt. Hamilton? Thats where I fugged up my old Integra. All the twisty roads look the same.... then again I'm not exactly paying attention to the landscape when I'm up there.

No big deal at all. Shouldn't hurt it one bit.

What a waste of machinery. Appears to be another sad example of letting a boy play with a man's toy.

gawd, I bet that guy's head felt 5x worse as soon as he crawled out of the car and looked at what he did. Guessing that it's not your typical 60 yr old retired white man driving this one.

Roof held up pretty good considering the ride it took on the shiny side.
I see headers on there. Definitely wasn’t stock.

Those are C5 exhaust parts because the muffler is turned different then mine.

The C6 Z06 exhaust is more efficient then the “base” models, but aftermarket headers improve it even more.

That's sad. Car has a lot of power, I have driven an 06 in Yellow and it's scary fast.
