Digital Dave knows his stuff. The tree was scraped up, but no more.
Garrett got his glasses mashed into his head by the airbag and he's
bruised and banged up pretty good, If I heard right. The really
frightening bit was when his leg was caught in the jeep. His buddy had
to climb out past him, and the fire had already started when they got
him loose.

I had no airbag, and no seatbelt.
I was a walking zombie for a week or so...

The airbag saved him some serious injuries.

Those type of impacts shove the engine into firewall then under the
chassis, rupturing fuel lines.

The 1970 impala is a tank of a car, but you should have seen what I did
to it.

Too late. They've already taken it apart and salvaged the frame. What
little chrome that was left has been removed and it's goin' for paint.

Did you want the pile of debris they had left? Are you a sculptor or
something, Catboy?

Anyhow, Kevin said they'd post on here later, so you'll get all the
drama firsthand.

Damn. I really wanted the entire thing, as a collectors peice, also, I
wanted the frame.

But hey, if you wanna ship me the debris for a low cost(IE: 5 bucks or
so plus shipping) PM me.

If that wasn't so tragic... it would be AWESOME... lol

I have an idea! Just tell everyone that asks that, "you MUNI'd all the
way through hell and back!"


That'll get some good expressions.



my condolences

Hmm. That's one way to get the steel cables out of your tire...

I'm interested to know if the hub has gotten weaker. Also, does anyone
think it's weird how the crank melted off, yet the spokes are still
there and the rim is still there?

As for the engine block being shoved back, I I'm curious, who was the
genius who decided not to put auto-cutoff on the fuel lines? I recently
heard a statistic that 1 cup of gasoline aerosolized and ignited
explodes with a force similar to that of 10 sticks of dynamite.

Anyone remember the guy who went into the ditch on Sunday of CMW? He did
the same thing, but instead only went into a drainage ditch.
