I’m gonna guess that the person who crashed it didn’t own it.

Looks like they needed the High Wing for a little more down force.

Looks like passenger compartment stayed intact.....doors both look like they might even still operate. Looks like it might not be half bad in an accident.

I blame GM

No where in the Owners Manual does it say you cannot go off roading.
