Default Russo Steele Auction disaster 2010

I just stumbled upon this! Wow, very sad.
A windstorm in AZ kicked up with more than 200 muscle cars inside being damaged.

Im literally sick to my stomach. The first group of pictures had just about every one of my favorite muscle cars. And they're damaged in some of the hardest places to fix. A-pillars, windshield frames, flattened cowl hoods...ugh. Just sad.

Whenever I am at a huge outdoor car show, like the summer nationals etc, when there are 5000-7000 cars outside I always wonder what if a huge hail storm came through? Just imagine what the price of muscle cars would do! It actually kind of makes almost a little nervous as silly as that sounds.
