And the kid who bought it proceeded to get drunk and wreck it two days later...also killed the lady he hit...what a crock..
He tried to tell the police the throttle was stuck open, as soon as i read that i knew i was gonna get a phone call. Sure enough a week later im in a meeting with the police explaining to them that it would be impossible for a throttle by wire cars throttle to get stuck (well almost impossible). Plus he was going 130 mph when he hit the lady so im sure there was plenty of time if he wanted to hit the brakes or pop it in neutral.
What's weird is when he took the car from me and dropped me off at enterprise so i could get something to drive for a day i had a bad feeling and walked back out to watch the car drive off one last time...premonition maybe? Anyway i thought the whole deal was messed up, i'm happy to be rid of payments and insurance but that car was cherry, only had 19K miles on it..a 2004.. Plus a lady is dead cause of my friends carelessness.
But this seems to happen a lot, everyone i seem to talk to has a story like this, they sell their baby and the kid wrecks it. Anyone else?
