Sad, wonder how that happened though. That's going to look bad if they were screwing around with the car and wrecked because of it. Btw... Barack Obama is hardly a communist.

Based on the road I saw in the video they were not straight and probably punched the gas. You CAN NOT do that in a Viper, even more so when you are not aware/ready for what will happen.

Most Viper wrecks are

1. New owners
2. Rentals
3. Dealer employees

Seems like a lot of those exotic rentals get wrecked like that.

Sad incident indeed, but why were two "on-duty" officers in a rented viper?

That's kind of what I was wondering...

There should be some kind of road class required for high horse powered cars, before they are rented or sold. I guess I would rent to a police officer, being that they do get driving training. Just not in high horse powered cars. Vipers and Crown Vics respond very differently when you put the hammer down.
