i think that the cold weather wasnt the only thing affecting this....maybe a heavy right foot?

Sierra · 01-04-2010, 09:39 PM

What the the hell are these people doing is all I ask... This is sad.

*The_Blur* · 01-04-2010, 09:40 PM

These are some new angles that I haven't seen of this particular crash. The driver was very lucky.

Earlier this year an earlier MY Mustang was split in half by a telephone pole. These types of accidents send shivers down my spine....anyways, the drivers did not fare as well as that one (^). He should count his lucky stars.

It was reported that the driver approached an intersection, swerved to avoid a car that was turning left, hit ice, spun. What a waste of $35 large.

are you talking about this one?

all 3 people walked away from the accident

Oh my after looking at all those new camaro's and even one ABM it was was really sad. My first thought went right to anyone that was in the cars and hoped they all are ok.
My second thought was that some were built close to my vin build date.
My third thought is I wonder if any of those car's were Camaro5 members?

Scary and I hope we all drive safe so we can have a lot of quality drive time with our babies.

Accidents are never a good thing,especially single car ones that could have easily been avoided.However, in looking at that Camaro it makes me remember the old days when you hit a pole it sheared off fell over and took out the power on the block.And then you had to buy a new bumper.

[QUOTEHeard the driver walked away on that one, amazing testimony to the saftey and design that went into these cars ][/QUOTE]

More like an amazing testimony as to how lucky some people are!! Had that pole gone throught the drives side they would be putting this guy in a shoe box.

True I'm sure someone will get the 16k out of the car. Just wasn't going to be me. Interior damage due to the bags alone was over 5k in PARTS!

I can vouch that one is a member on here...Unfortunately I'm that person. Lost the car due to an unfortunate incident with a Tacoma driver failing to yield right of way...

Got another on the way already to match it. Just have to get the stripes repainted.

I'm going to bid on my old car to try to buy it back but we'll see how it goes.

TJ91 · 01-04-2010, 11:40 PM

He mustve been flying when he hit the patch of ice, anyone know if it was a member from here?
