One that makes me have little faith in the human race is one in Australia last year (I think). A lady was on business trip and staying in a hotel. She invited a man around to spend the night and while they were doing something other than sleeping, the light fixture on the roof broke and fell on her. Her company didn't believe that was cause to claim as a 'work-related injury' and didn't pay her out for it, so she sued them
To be fair though, unless she was hanging from it, the hotel should've paid. They should have insurance for just such occasions.
I don't know if I'll make it tonight, but I'll try. After my Tuesday project last night (where I came in dead last, for the fifth week in a row), Diabolic, Leadbedr, Spooble, and I were talking. A few of us had Corvettes so we puttered around Trial Mountain / Reverse. I was the only one with a C6, though.
The tires are a luxury. There are just a few places where I need to worry about the back stepping out, and because the engine and the weight are in the front, when it does step out, it isn't a guaranteed spin. I do think the brakes are weak. That thing must weight more than I realize, or I'm just used to the S2000 and the Evora I've been driving recently.
I was able to do a 1:35 in a five lap race, and my tires were holding together. During the practice before that, I was more aggressive and the tires didn't last four laps.
There are some questions:
- How many laps?
- I'm used to the yellow areas on either side of the back straight (with the long tunnel) being in bounds. But they are outside of the white lines. Are those yellow areas in bounds?
