with michigan's wacky auto insurance rules, this might get rather messy.

[jonw29]

Ouch!!!!!!Gotta feel bad for the guy.Forum member?

[hemi68charger]

Ah man !!!  Hope the guy's ok.......... I see the 'Bird's not.......... Hope they can repair that without too much insurance problem........

[terrible one]

WTF?! Moparts says he was rear ended too. I can't stand incompetent drivers!  What a sad sight.

[jonw29]

Yeah the pic of the car on the wrecker shows the rear wrinkled up.bummer

[redrider]

man look at the car that rearended him the thing is mangeled he must have been cruising when he hit that superbird

[RallyeMike]

Bummer to say the least. I see a stetcher - hope everyone is ok. Rear-enders can be nasty if no headrests.

[randr]

Ouch! Vent window popped out! Must have been a nasty hit for sure! Glad driver is ok.

Thats hurts to see that superbird hope the people in it are ok .Reminds me from being rear ended just had sprains and etc pains.No broken bones

[tan top]

  sad sight  !!  took a big old  bash in the rear by the looks of it  , think you can just see a metallic redishpinkish car in the first picture that done the damage !
glad no one hurt ! , can't quite make out in the picture if the roof has gone  or the door is open a little , ??     need going on a frame rack

It looks bad, but the back end is the worse of it. And from what I've seen on this board recently with another rear-ended Superbird, I'm thinking the back could be pulled out.

The Nosecone is Kaput. However, the inside components could likely be straigtened, and a new Nosecone from what's his name (the Nascar guy) would probably put it right.

At least the fenders look good.

Thats looks worthy of an assault charge 

[Charger_Dart]

That is so sad to see.

how in the cornbreadhell do you not see a wing car in front of you? texting? what a dumba$$ speaking of the insurance. i had to get off the road in my bird to miss an elk. got ahold of my insurance company and they sent a guy right out. this guy was great, he's a car guy who has restored cars and has owned a paint and body shop. there was no hassle, no low balling me. very glad i have Grundy insurance. they were great.

I thought I'd spend a few quite minutes looking at Aero car stuff and I see this
I think I'll go puke now......

[richRTSE]

From the link : "Flagged down via CarDomain, the Superbird was reportedly exiting Woodward Avenue when it smacked the rear-end of a Silverado pickup and was then rear-ended itself."
So the bird was the first to hit the guy in front of him, and then he got hit from behind.  . sounds like a sudden stop by the truck in front of him then.  Or the bird driver was not paying attention...

How do you not see a huge black truck in front of you stop?

Sorry I couldnt resist.....regardless of fault, its a shame!!!!!!!!

[lokalik]

maybe he was texting . you got to remember that there is about 2 feet in front of you that you do not see

Granted, there should have been more buffer between the 'Bird and the truck in front of him, but someone rammed the 'Bird from the rear. I think the 'Bird was helped along in a very unsettling way. I can see a car behind the 'Bird in the 1st picture. The 'Bird is smashed in the rear..

Apparently, this car was written off...and ended up on Coparts.com!
And sold for $30K!!

I missed seeing it there, somehow!

Does anybody have the pictures from when it was on that site?
