When bad things happen to good cars


Recommended Posts

Yeah, looks like that big ol' nodular Ford diff was a little too much for that widdle chebby to handle ^_^

Sure was a mess at Scottsdale; wonder if all the claims are settled yet...

That one Charger looks like it got nailed by a freight train a la Dirty Mary-Crazy Larry

Ouch indeed. And the bad parts i,that that's a small percentage that get nailed. Here's a 67 LeMans that got T-boned by a soccer mom driving a Lexus. she was on her phone and drove over one of those little greenery islands they put in parking lots and into the Pontiac,pushing it into the 40 Ford coupe next to it. She never hit the brakes...

I hear that a lot. I lost a six year old Continental with 35K miles on it to the same thing. In the parking lot of my own apartment. The driver panics, mashes whatever pedal they happen to be on thinking it's the brake, and when the car doesn't stop they just mash harder.
