I bet the guy was totally focused on "what a cool car in front of me" and forgot to think about stopping distance and before he knew it, it was too late.
I get alittle freaked out when stupid people do stupid things around you just to get alook at your car. They stop paying attention to the road and just stare at your car.
Man that sucks big time. Not to mention its 100x worse in the fact that you just finnished her.
I can only imagine how you feel....
I think the guy was taking a drink. I shot a pic of him when he got out of the truck. He was soaking wet so he was holding a drink. I figured it could come in handy if this goes to court. Glad I always carry a camera.

DA**IT Man I am so pissed off for you. Its morons like that that make me not want to drive my little car, and she is no Penny. Sorry man I am not sure I could restrain myself at least to take a swing at the moron.
OMG MAN!. Its not even my car and im feeling sick just reading about this. well atleast now you can improve on anything that you didnt on the build...if their is any lol cuz that car was perfect!, best of luck man.
Well you've got the right attitude!! Get on with it , That really sucks !! but you can't dwell on it , I've spent many hours working(not your 2 years) on race cars and destroid a couple on their first race, one we took out the engine , trans and some misc parts and had to junk the rest. I'm sure you'll have it going better than before.
Glad to see your ok and had safety in mind when you built her hope all goes well with the insurance its been 3 yrs since my accident and i am finally getting somewhere ...hope you dont have to wait that long....
