Such a shame, hope they throw the book at the drunk. Nice car though, I dont even see a spec of rust or bondo.

Last few. Guys, just a note...please keep the insurance/hate for the drunk posts down to a low. The owner said on FABO that the insurance company is investigating now so he dosen't want anyone to say the wrong thing. Apperentley somebody emailed some pictures to the company the guy works for before the owner of the car/insurance company could even get ahold of them.

Damn that guy was traveling Crunched the whole back end like a frickin stick pretzel in a Rumke compactor and did the same to the front just from the force of hitting the back!  Not only was he not paying attention he was speeding like a bat out of hell. What is there for the insurance to investigate?  How many beers it must take to get so sh*t faced that driving a car seems like a good decision???   I done now, unless someone else stirs the pot as well, cause I could get p'd off about this all day.  That was a lovely frickin car.

It's ALL a shame. I have to completely agree with Tom. I know pain and I know what never again being able to work means. I don't like all the lawsuits, but what happens to peoples lives after wrecks like that is awful. The drunk will go on to have another drink tomorrow while the father and son, (not being drunk), will more than likely have a lifetime of pain they did not cause.

PS. Tom, I need my neck cracked...

The car really did provide a mondern-like "crumple zone" fold up.  Contrasts with that 1959 Chevy in the crash test clip (that looks rigged).

Salvage what he can and find a rust free body. Looks like there are some good parts there.
