I am just glad he drove a nice car. Its kinda stupid to have a nice car thats never seen rain or when people brag "its only for 3000 miles in 10 years". Some people have crazy ideas that all these cars are going to be for auction on BJ some day. Everyone should keep in mind in 30 or so years few people will be collecting like they are today.

you couldn't pay me enough to drive 90 pmh in that thing. If you crash you've got two flamthrowers next to your head? No thanks LOL

Oh OK thanks, now it makes sense

I love how people criticize Jr's bike cuz it can only drive 20 miles. LoL .... It's a show bike people it wasn't a build a practical bike competition or a build a bike that everyone builds like Jesse's was the whole point was who could design the best. There's a difference between a show bike and a daily driver and you really can't compare the two. As far as Paul Sr. it was obvious that to save himself embaresment again he just didn't build a bike at all.

There wasn't even that much damage lol.
Some of the people talking here would be wrapped around a pole in a 1000hp GT.

I thought the video he made making fun of Jr. was hilarious

I think they probably juice up the tension in some respects, but it's real.

That's what I hear. From a few guys I know that have met them, senior is a true a-hole
and junior is a homo. Jesse is a complete degenerate. That is no act at all. I like that guy.

I know a guy who lives in the same town as them, and he says the whole lot of them are total arrogant douche bags, always have been.

The GT did not appear to be badly wrecked. By the time this incident was posted, Hennessey probably had the GT in his shop rebuilding the GT and further modifying it for more speed.
