This just shows how well these are built, safety wise. The guy walked away!!

Kalenn · 12-29-2009, 02:57 PM

I have a feeling that "speed was a contributing factor" in this particular accident.

BigMatt · 12-29-2009, 02:58 PM

Holy crap, he must have been flying to get that pole that far into the car

Blade · 12-29-2009, 02:58 PM

I wonder how fast the idiot was driving in the winter conditions.

2Fast4U2010 · 12-29-2009, 03:01 PM

So much power, people need to know how to control it. Yes it's a well built car, allot of drivers have tested that for us. Be safe out there this New Years.

AnnaBear@SpartaChevy · 12-29-2009, 03:06 PM

WOW!

I am speechless and sick to my stomach.

Hey Craig.

That wasn't a Cincy Speed street tune gone bad now was it ???? lol

I am glad that guy walked away from that one.

Sir Nuke · 12-29-2009, 03:10 PM

Whoa! It's amazing he was able to walk away from that!

brandotron · 12-29-2009, 03:25 PM

These high speed crashes are giving us a bad name.

Wileytrigger21 · 12-29-2009, 03:26 PM

FenwickHockey65 · 12-29-2009, 03:38 PM

And this, my friends, is why I hate driving 20 minutes south into Cincinnati...

rolnslo · 12-29-2009, 03:48 PM

I must say...that is one seriously strong power pole. I'm guessing it just slid right along the inside of the passenger side framerail. Good thing there wasn't a passenger in the car or this story would have ended differently.

BRKLYN · 12-29-2009, 03:51 PM

The stripes held up

sure glad he's ok.

Blue Demon · 12-29-2009, 04:08 PM

Hate to think how much insurance is going to go up for us Camaro drivers in the future.

brAnd7onX · 12-29-2009, 04:09 PM

The pole loved the car so much it wanted to ride shotgun...

TahoeCamaro · 12-29-2009, 04:23 PM

I've seen him driving around here... not anymore I guess. Ouch.

cschmidt1956 · 12-29-2009, 04:33 PM

Seen too much of this stuff already and with folks trying to drive with Summer Only tires I worry about INSURANCE rates going through the roof for this vehicle. Glad noone was hurt eith in the car or an innocent bystander.

billyspeed · 12-29-2009, 05:51 PM
