[Aschle]

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:

[LowchevyII]

thats one hell of an oops

[awr68]

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?

[GregWeld]

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??

[rwhite692]

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.

[Spiffav8]

Daaang! :wow:

[deuce_454]

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:

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

[firewood]

Wow. looks like the engine shattered!


Dibs on the wheels!

[dezl]

if the driver walked away I say the SS won.

[E.rodz]

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:

[Serpa69]

The pole won

[kochevy67]

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

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

I bet pick a part get this one money maker!!!!!!:willy:doesn't look like they'll have much to sell after that
