I think the definition of modest house is subjective. To me that is not modest....not extravagant but definitely not modest.

To me, these would be modest homes in that area

Berg was arrested Monday after the airbag computer system on her 2024 Corvette - which cost between $70,000 and $140,000 - found she had been driving at 155mph seconds slamming the brakes and careening into Clark.

Here’s the only pertinent bit.    And it’s pretty important to know:    You don’t have plausible deniability in a modern car.      

She got down to normal speed and barely tapped that motorcycle.    If she had been driving an ‘87 Corvette, her legal situation would be different.   Not defending her.  Just saying, it’s important to remember, the car will Always rat you out.

90mph is normal speed?

The speed limit on US60 is between 55 and 65 mph....

25mph is barely tapped???

We should put you on a motorcycle and "tap" you in the rear end at 25 MPH, see how you come out of it.

At times, I reflect upon my life and I am extremely grateful I did not kill, or cause great physical harm to anyone, or get killed/crippled doing some of the things I did.
Not everyone that makes mistakes from teenage years to their mid- 20's is so fortunate.

I have personally viewed the immediate results of too many of those absence of judgement that I exhibited when I was younger and reckless.

She did stop and try to provide aid, so she feels remorse.  She also did a dumb thing and deserves prison.  Prison may straighten her out by teaching her that mistakes have consequences, so she'll never kill anyone else.   It may also harden her so that the next time she kills someone, she'll just go burn her car down, and report it stolen.

Haters don't want to admit the C8 is a supercar.  0-60 in 3.0s is a supercar and that's the base C8 without the Z51 package, 2.8s with the Z51.  The Z06 is 2.6s.

Fuck these elitists so-called “journalists”;  “a modest home in a working class neighborhood” were the words used by every leftist in every big city rag when I was growing up.

I wonder what kind of bohemian shithole the left bank wannabe halfwit that wrote that article lives in?

For a “modest” home, it looked well maintained and the owners at least have pride in where they live.

Couple of things.

1.  Article states she is accused of driving 155mph.  However, that may not have played a role in the crash.  It also says she was going 87mph at the time of the collision.  Traffic generally flows about 75mph on the freeways in the Valley so that's a 12mph differential.  Not excusing her fuckup, but not as reckless as the article makes it sound.  Still impactful, but the article makes it sound like she plowed over a stopped motorcyclist at 155mph.

2.  The car apparently records a lot of what you are doing.  Anyone know how far back the downloadable digital records go on these new cars?

Has nothing to do with a PDR or an SD card.  Every car since 2014 has an "event data recorder"...a "black box".  It will keep information for at least 30 days.
