He said he hydro palned into the oncoming truck. I'm not sure what he was doing. The roads are dry today so I'm just guessing here but I think he was getting on it and lost it..

Any idea why the Airbags didn't do their thing? Certainly looks like a hit that would cause them to deploy. Glad he is ok. Time for a LS1!!!

I have no clue why they didn't. It even moved the dash away from the driver side A pillar.

He's going to start looking for a LS1 camaro now.
