The pictures says it all, when traveling on GTGs at a fast clip, keep a safe distance between cars. No tail-gating.

Bill, you are spot on. I've had a few nightmares about the Dragon that end like this. People need to keep a good interval.

As for the article/accident: it almost made cry to see all those cars smashed up. But kudos to Ferrari, no one was seriously injured. I bet the same couldn't be said if it was a pile-up of Ford Fiestas or the like (maybe not, Fiestas can't go very fast...)

Sorry Tom, I actually thought I was far enough back.

Although damages are pretty high, it's really closer to 1.25 to 1.5 million (with the exchange rate) A bunch of 360s, 355s, and a 430 don't cost nearly what people think. Plus it was only 7 Ferrari's, a prius, and an older Merc (not classic).

I drew the short straw today and had to do some windows updates for someone. I've had time to do some research on the wreck lol.
