SSR accident in Hell Michigan?

I work in Pinckney Michigan. At the local grocery store, there were two red SSR's, a 35th anniversary Camaro and a Vette. I didn't see any of this, but two co-workers did. Then a third co-worker was on a test drive in a customer car, and saw The 35th, the vette, and a red car? He said another red car was wrapped around a tree and he didn't know what kind of car it was. There was a body on a stretcher covered by a sheet. This co-worker didn't even know that the other guys had seen this caravan at the grocery store. So I think I believe it.

Sounds like a SSR was wrapped around a tree and a driver possibly died. This happened in or around Hell Michigan, but I didn't personally witness it.

Just letting you guys know.

Died in Hell? Thats just bad kharma.:(

I didn't even know they were being sold yet :confused: Would this have been a test-drive by a GM employee or something?

That's what I was thinking... especially since there was a Vette and a 35th Camaro along with one, or possibly 2 SSR's...

:(

i dont believe it
does anybody even know if red is an option on the SSR and why would they have all those cars together
are they sure they where SSR's

Wonder if this was a magazine test.

There's a city named Hell in Michigan? What kind of name is that?! That's like naming your city Peni$ville, or F*ckup City:confused:

Yes, red is an option for the SSR. And I know for a fact that there is at least 2 red SSRs.

There will be 4 colors for the SSR, blue, black, yellow, and red

:eek: I didnt believe the name of the town at first.....now I do. I hope the wreck didnt really happen. Maybe Scott S. could verify if anyone was hurt.

Go to the above link to see several shots of the red one if you wish. I am in love with this machine!!! Crash or no crash. If you want one, expect to wait one to two years on the list. I put a deposit down this summer and based on the limited first year production would guess that every other dealer for chevy will get one for 2003. In the fall of 2003, the 2004 models should dribble in, but still at a very slow pace. It may not haul ass but it will definately haul my art work in style.

Yep. We have Hell and Christmas. I have a picture of me standing by the "Welcome to Hell" sign! :D

Actually at the past two Camarofests, 2001, 2002. We had a roadrally to hell. Its pretty popular because of that name. I know that they were going to have a Viper club have a road rally there as well a few weeks later.
The even have a University named Damn, so you can go to Damn U. :rolleyes:

I'm going to Damn U. in Hell ....err , no really , hehe:D :cool:

The two independent co-workers, were sure they were red SSR's. they both saw them at the Busch's grocery store in Pinckney, Mi. Both guys are pretty into cars, with the one even having a souped up S10, so he woudl be in the know on the SSR's. If I had had the whole story soon enough, I would have been down there with a camera. But, I heard about the accident first, with no mention of it being two SSR's until two house later. by then the area woudl have been cleaned up. Maybe I will have to ask around a bit more on the police force or something.

I can't believe you guys are so impressed there is really a city named Hell in Michigan. LOL. In fact, I think Good Morning America broadcast from there this Halloween morning.

I wonder if there will ever be any official confirmation of this accident.

I do agree that it sounds like a test drive, or even more likely, a magazine set up.

Man, this sounds like an unplanned crash test. I would be curious if the fact that these SSR's are made of ALL STEEL BODY PARTS AND NO PLASTIC has anything to do with the severity of the accident. I would have thought that an all steel body construction would be safer than these newer plastic self destructive models out now. Guess I was wrong.

Depends on what speed they were going when they crashed. if they were going 100+mph I don't think it really matters what the body panels are made of

Hello, Corvette, Camaro SS, and two SSRs i think they were doing some "Illegal/Unofficial Top Speed Testing" :p

Got a confirmation from a buddy that said there was one wrecked SSR for sure. He is pretty in the know at the factory. Guess someone is gonna loose their job over this one....

So it is true then.

Gotta love the internet. Oh, It happened on D-32 between Dexter-Pinckney Road, and Hell city limit.
