The Ron Scott web site mentioned that alcohol was involved.
What a shame.

Probably 10 years ago, I was very close to ordering an FFR, so I called them and asked if they knew of anyone with one close to me, I'd like to talk to the owner and see the finished product...They gave me the name and phone # of an FFR owner (with his permission) and I contacted him and he was more than happy to show me the car and even let me test drive it.....We set a date and one nice saturday morning I drove 2.5 hours to see the car......after looking over the car a while we went out for a ride, this was a bone stock FFR build, all of 225hp!!!!!!!!!!! that car was very fast for what he had in it and after a while he offered to let me drive it...we pulled into the back side of a mall parking lot that was pratically empty and switched places.... I drove around the parking lot for about 15 minutes, probably did not get out of second gear, getting the feel of the steering and brakes.....Then we headed to his house, about another 15 minutes away...I drove carefully, probably did not go past 3000 rpms going thru the gears and never exceded the posted speed limit..

I could not imagine anyone taking a new or used car out on the road for their first ride and stomping on it, just plain STUPID.....each car has it perks and the FFR certainly did,took me a while to get used to the feel of the brakes and steering, never did get used to that backwards shifter, had a hard time finding the gears and I've driven 4 and 5 speed cars/trucks all my life.........

What that women did in the video was just plain stupid, I don't care about her car, just glad she did not take out anyone, it could have been a lot worse, suppose it was one of our wife's with our kids in the car with their mom coming from the opposite direction when she lost it and crossed the center line????????
