OUCH! Classic Vette brake failure.

U.M.

I could feel the guy's anguish on that one. He was pissed. What a shame. Nice looking Vette.

Lol, he was fuming and wanted to take it out on the fence. I can feel for the guy, but its strange to have that kind of brake failure unless you don't know what you are doing. Or unless its old school drums and he was going in too hot for them.

Don't drive in flip-flops...

Going kinda quick for coming up the driveway. What a bummer!

Wtf was he doing?

Jeez, I was just at my restorer’s place today. A complete new brake system was an easy decision.

For a Vette? Is the SS kit still the way to go?

Better to happen there at 10mph, than out on the road I guess.

It was Stainless Steel something or other. It's been forever since I messed with any of that stuff.

What I was trying to figure out by looking at the other cars in the driveway was he just done taking out the Vette for a cruise and how was it stopping out on the road if he did not have brakes in the driveway. I had 3 classic Vettes a 69, 70, and 71 two of them being big blocks and know how temperamental they are and reliability was not the best for Vettes of that era.

The article I read he was pulling it around to show his daughters boyfriend the car and the breaks had no break pressure yet. Tried to pull the emergency break to no avail.

Dude was more reserved than I would have been...

I wonder what was behind that fence that he chose to park it into the brick wall?

Target fixation?

Yes going to quick.

You hear two chirps before the wreck. Appears he dropped both pass tires into the grass.

I’m guessing he thought he was locked up or lost brakes and panicked and totally stopped braking

He panicked even further and blasted his fiberglass car into a brick house, rather than going straight through the fence.

Multiple failures and I’m not talking about the brakes

No armchair here. Just feel bad for the guy. Man that sucks

Subbing for all the "he should've done this or that" comments from everyone on SVTP who've lost brakes in their classic corvettes before

Just a bad deal all around right there, I feel for the guy

For all anyone knows there could’ve been a swimming pool behind the fence.

The question is should he have hit the house/garage, or plowed the 350Z into the Challenger.
