Default Another one gone!!(added more pics 56k killer)

My buddy was on his way to work this morning and a truck turned out in from of him. I havent seen it in person yet, but from what he says it's totalled.

Here's what it did look like!!! The red one. Its a 98 ws6 Formula. It was one of the cleanest ws6 Formula's I knew/saw.


Here's what it looks like now. Its not a good pic because it's his camera phone. The hood is what busted out the windshield then ended up where it's at. Needless to say today is pretty sad. I'm just glad my buddy came out of it with only some bumps/bruises and airbag burns.


edit= I have more pics now.

Wow... I know his pain. It's just a car, though, and all that matters is that he's ok.

Damn. Formulas are a bit more rare than Trans Ams. But it is a car and it can be replaced. Life is not replaceable.

If some a$$wipe pulls out in front of my Firehawk I swear I'll flip out if I hear somebody say ,"it's just a car, at least you're Ok."


I'm getting mad just looking at those before/after shots. I hope your buddy gets his dues.

I'd flip, too. That saying downplays the (sentimental) value of a car to the point of disrespect.
