It was just a Dodge. No big loss.

kscarrol · 12-21-2014, 04:39 PM

Ha! True! But it was one of those $60k Hellcats with 700+ hp... Obviously the guy had no clue how to handle that power.

I just hope he had GAP insurance.

I don't like seeing reports like this.

Might have been avoided if taken Performance Driving Courses.

Does Dodge have it's own version of BMW CCA or Performance Driving School?

obe100 · 12-21-2014, 05:29 PM

it was the goodies he got from a local CO "bakery"

…..wait…..no.….because if that was the case, he would have been glazed-over at a stop sign for 20 mins and maybe this would have been avoided.

Pull the motor and install in a prius.

Thats why all buyers should be required to either have an NHRA license, or multiple performance driving courses under their belts. Your average schmuck has no business drive a 700hp car on public roads.

Tracyis300 · 12-21-2014, 11:53 PM

Well, that's one way of "breaking her in?"
But mann! That Sucks!!
It's like getting that XMAS present you asked for and out of excitement, you trip and fall on it. And broke it to non repair.
And you wouldn't be able to replace it anytime soon, because its sold out everywhere.

Maybe if it didn't come equipped with pizza cutter tires from the factory it wouldn't be such a tree/wall/etc. magnet.

Stupid post and I hope the owner is ok...

///MCFC · 12-22-2014, 10:07 AM

would guess this is fairly common with new cars, regardless of horsepower. anticipation + excitement + unfamiliarity with new vehicle = sad face.

This. My coworkers wife crashed their minivan a few hours after buying it as well.

TahoeM3 · 12-22-2014, 10:33 AM

That's a shame, but expected. That's what happens when you put 700 hp in a poorly-handling, heavy car with skinny tires. It's like a special kind of Darwin's theory that only applies to rednecks.

My post has a perceived level of intelligence?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. My opinion? Dodge makes some horrible cars. My wife has a 2011 Charger, and I hate everything about it. 700hp or not, Dodge's are pieces of sh*t, hence my post. Don't like my opinion? Don't read it and don't bother responding.

Now move along Sir.
