Ouch ! I guess the driver walked away, at least from what I have read so far...:wow:

Damn, that makes me cringe. Hope it's true that the driver walked away.

I bet pick a part get this one money maker!!!!!!:willy:

thats one hell of an oops

WOW! Hope there was only the driver in the car and that they really did walk away! :wow:

Had to be moving at a good clip to do this right, like 45+ mph?

I'd be sympathetic --- but it's obvious that this happened "in town" -- and the driver had to be hammering it pretty hard to dang near cut the car in half lengthwise....

I hope he/she "walked away" (doubtful without some hospital time) and learned something from it...

I sent them to Alex - maybe he'll learn something from the photos -- and not be involved in the real thing!

That appears to be a pretty stout steel pole. a lot of force over a small area=car cut in two. Speed may not have been all that high. There also appears to be snow/ice around so there may have been no effective braking, either.

Rob --

It's FLAT -- and if there is a traction issue, as in, lack of traction, then this person should have been going even SLOWER than they obviously were....?? :yes:

No way that car gets that damaged at 30 or 40 mph??

I'm not defending anyone here Greg, gee whiz.

Was just pointing out that the difference between what a 5" round steel pole can sometimes do, and what a typical 12-14" diameter wood utility pole typically does, can sometimes be quite dramatic in terms of cutting effect, etc.

Daaang! :wow:

it looks like the 10 camaro isnt real safe in a front impact.... i mean if it was going slow enough not to kill the driver it sustained way to much damnage for me to ever want to get in one... i mean is it even welded???

Rob -- I wasn't on your case... Maybe I should have put more ROFL faces after my post... so here..... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


XOXO
Greg

It's all good, GW...I can feel the love. :)

Wow. looks like the engine shattered!


Dibs on the wheels!

if the driver walked away I say the SS won.

maybe the throttle pedal was supplied by toyota lol.I hate it when this happens!looks to me like there was just a little to much speed through this little town.if you could have only had a cammera on the drivers face before impact.:wow:

The pole won

That should buff out RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The damage is what makes it safe. The front is designed to crumple.

doesn't look like they'll have much to sell after that

now that left a mark but maaaan my dad has this cool set of tools :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
