I'd almost feel bad for this guy,if he had actually done it right to begin with.

I do feel bad for the car though.

Thats what I was thinking.

That, or what retarded installation facility actually put a hitch on a Vette? Does the General even put up "towing capacity" numbers for the Vette? Somehow, I doubt it.

Edit: Oh......He's a jet skier. That explains it.

LOL, you mean 'speedbump' right?

Well....Yeah...That, or a heart attack waiting to happen. When your cruising at 50-60 mph or so, in a 28' boat....They like to shoot straight at you (to jump the wake). "Performance" is in the title of the boat, but I can't outmaneuver a jetski. And I have been witness to a number of tragedies on the lake that are a direct result of some snapperhead on a PWC that thinks it's cool to run a perpendicular course to a 5000 lb boat going 60, and play tag with it.

It scares the crap out of me everytime I see a PWC within 1/4 mile....looking at my wake. If they are far enough away, and I see them coming, I drop to no-wake speed. Pi$$es them off but it's not worth it..... living with killing someone. Even if it's a short-sighted, snot-nosed 18 year old king of the world (with girlfriend on the back) riding daddys ski (that I could beat to a pulp with my little toe) that gives me the "You're #1" sign for doing it.

Sorry rant off.
