No misunderstanding at all. I guaranty the driver does not get sued, his insurance company does.
I would have thought you were smart enough to know why we have labially insurance.

I know why we have liability insurance, and I also know that both the driver and his insurance company will almost certainly get sued, and there's a good chance in this case the driver will get sued for an amount greater than the limits of his liability insurance.

I'm left wondering how you're a moderator on this site. You're right in the middle of half of the senseless crap that goes on, like constantly insisting that an LS6 car without it's born-with engine is no longer an LS6 car. Now we have a rollover crash involving an entire family, and your reaction is "no big deal, that's why we have insurance."

Whatever - rock on dude.

Yeah, I'm scratching my head over this response as well. Dean normally seems to have more common sense than to respond like this
 
I had to pull the whole thread:

Having been raised up in Jacksonville FL, I can attest to how slippery the roads can be when the roads get the first few drops of rain. I learned quickly to slow my ass down. Glad all involved walked away.

Come on man, he had them racin' rubbers, the good ol BFG Terrible/Awfuls, that car was spec'd to kick azz!!! 😕 A honda civic can do second gear burn outs with those tires, I don't understand why they still produce them, guess there's still demand.

I am not blaming this incident on the tires, just stating facts about them.

Of course I know that lawyers always name everyone they can but it was reported that nobody got hurt very bad in this instance, (which is surprising.)

I'd be willing to bet the 70 in the video was none of these things and the value of that BAT auction is nothing more than what someone was willing to pay! Buyer obviously had deep pockets and wanted the car.

I'm not the one that reported nobody hurt bad.

"According to the video poster, all involved walked away from the incident with cuts and bruises."

I thank the automakers for the improvements to the seatbelts and air bags systems. The way seatbelts tighten-up automatically is just genius IMO and in a crash like that maybe even more important than the air bags.
That Chevelle driver will give all of us driving old cars a bad name that's not fair. And I totally agree that the driver should have taken some kind of driving instruction for a hi HP car. I wonder if the car was equipped with some brand of drag radial street tires ?

I think someone mentioned it had BF Goodrich radials and drag radials really shouldn't be driven on wet pavement from what I've read, and that's what's on my car

32 posts of who gives a shit……people crash cars every day. Have you seen the majority of people that drive right now? Most are Absolutely lost in every meaning of the word.

Anybody here ever lose it on dry pavement? On wet? It is much different than snow or ice in that when you correct, it can really snap back and vector quickly, to the point where you can't keep on top of it.
Look at the conditions in the accident, just starting to lightly rain, which floats all the oil & crap to the surface and it ends up being quite slick.
I ain't gonna throw stones...

Problem is this sets going rate. Nice cars don’t get sold person to person anymore. They end up at auctions or dealers.

It was an accident. How many times have you seen cars break loose at the track(and crash)? Pro's and amateur's alike have accidents. Is the highway the best place to goof off, probably not, BUT for anyone who has high HP street cars I would be willing to bet you have broke the tires loose at some point and not at the track.

I've had mine break loose about 50 MPH at the track, and holey smokes, nearly soiled the drawers.
This with a little 5.3. Couldn't believe it. Let up on the gas and steer.....slowly....

I think it's really the other way around FvsC. A person-to-person sale stands the best chance to get an honest deal on a good car.
A car sold at a dealer or an auction; the background and details of that car (if available) usually can't be trusted.
 
All I get is:

So the guy broke the rear end free on the interstate, big deal. So he crashed, insurance will cover it. Who cares if the family he hit is now without a car, nobody was hurt, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.

Seems they were more like "no big deal" when the right response should have been "that guy was an asshole and caused a family to get hurt. I sure hope that family is ok".

Oh who cares about a thread from OCS anyway. The stupidity over there is what created this wonderful site. As franco from the gumball rally would say ...What is behind me is a not important....

I agree but it is just not OCS. Have we become so self centered as to say that oh well, I should be able to break the ass end free on my car on the Interstate and who cares if I get in a crash. It is so sad people think like that. Even 189 year old Dean.
