I pray no one was killed in this. Do you think the driver of the truck is trying to get into the monster truck drivers club?

After seeing those photos about the wrecked vettes, I am again reminded about controlling my speed, and not go off racing on the streets.

wow, it really makes me thinking about being more careful. If there were people in some of those cars there is no way they lived. We can only hope no one was in the car at the time.

Notice more than a few of those vettes belonged to the guy who made that site. Youd think he would learn after the first or second one.

You must have lead a sheltered life. I don't get sick to my stomach over fiberglass and metal. I get sick when my buddy gets body parts blown off.

Sorry, I just can not get emotional over twisted metal.
