Default Where not to park your F body.

Two months to the day I handed the keys over to my babies new owner. He parked it upside down. But if that wasn't bad enough it was upside down on top of propane tanks!!


sorry its so small but look close.





They say the car flipped atleast 8 times. He is alive, but doesn't remember a thing.

You only have one life. Please Be careful out there.

Honestly when I heard the news of what had happened to the car an the kid who now owned it, It felt like I lost a part of me.

Wholeheartedly agrees.

Damn sorry to see such pictures of your car man. I'd be totally pissed if I sold a car I put money and effort into, and they ended up driving it like a jaggoff.

I don't know what happened to that sale but the night we met up to exchange money for the car he wanted to drive it first which is more than reasonable. I went with him of course the roads were damp an I had warned him not to go wide open with it in the first 3 gears cause the backend would try to pass the frontend. We were just rolling along in 3rd when he dropped the hammer (I probably would of done the same if the rolls were reversed)for a second an of course the assend went sideways big time quickly. He let off instantly(think he might of **** his pants). But I had come to the notation that the cars life would be short lived with this 19 year old behind the wheel. I was thinking of not selling it to him pretty hard. But money talks an he had the money, so he got the car.

Almost 5 years of hard work an way to much money destoryed for ever. Least I got alot of great memories I will always keep off that car.


What exactly happened?

Umm really no ones for sure. The kid doesn't remember anything. All i know There were snow flurries at 10am Saturday the 4th of Feb.

My belief of what happened That kid was probably running 130 or so an the car hit a bump an the *** end came loose.( When the roads were cold the *** of the car was always breaking loose an going sideways if it hit any bumps in the road.) An the kid being 19 didn't have the experience to get or back in time.

I can't believe he's still alive. At least he must have had his seat belt on. Or else he would have been 100 feet away fron the car!

He didn't have his seat belt on. Who knows how you end up on propane tanks. I still can't believe it.

the best thing to do now is salvage that engine, my cousin had a situation like that, the car didn't end up as bad but the new owner took the insurance check and my cousin got it back cheap at an auction
