While getting a bit off topic, actually feel worse for the cube van and semi drivers, as they were doing absolutely nothing wrong. No idea how the Suburban got squireley, but obviously messed up somehow. I drive on icey roads in northern Michigan all the time, and just stay to the right for the conditions. Get 7000 lb 4WD's blowing by me all the time, until in the ditch a few miles up. No tears from me, for these guys.

If you think the '78 is in bad shape. Take a look at this video and say a few prayers for the people in the SUV.

Have to drive with your head on a swivel. Too many motorists not paying attention. If I'm stopped @ a light, I have an exit strategy in case the clown behind me doesn't see stopped traffic.

It looked to me like he/she hit the slush in the middle of the road and lost control. I don't like to change lanes when there is a slushy divider for exactly that reason.

Wow....a 4 lane highway with no divider. You don't see that too often!Actually I can't think of any place that occurs....were was that?
You'd think the state DOT's would have some liability for poor design . . |

Hate to see it, but I have a hunch this is not a real PC.
:thumbs: The photos make the interior look darker than the correct gray, and I THINK that's a fiberglass top as opposed to the glass that would have come on it, but I could most certainly be wrong. The rear spoiler appears to be missing as well, but that could be chalked up to the accident. A quick look in the interior would say a lot and the VIN would end all questions. I agree though, sucks to see another C3 off the road. :( |

Missouri only recently put in a cable crash catch thing that no one likes and will probly done away with as the semi trucks are destroying it faster than modot can keep repairing |
Those cable dividers might not stop a semi, but they will absolutely stop a passenger car, SUV, or pick up.
AND usually total it as well. But that's better than going into the oncoming lanes and getting killed.... |
I think that the video was from Russia, at least that's what I read somewhere else.

Ive been told "it still has original paint", to show up and find it has been painted multiple times.Then i asked the guy about the original paint and he said it still has the original paint under the 2 other paint jobs!!!! And he was serious.And he was right!

It's better to move slow than not moving at all. I remember seeing the car in front of me trying to pass the snowplow who was in front of us and got cought in the slush in the middle of the road and he lost control and did a 360 to finally end his course in the ditch on the other side of the road. |
Always cringe at the thought of ever getting in a major collision with a C3.
|
On the bright side I've always wondered what those rims looked like on a vette and now I know. Not to bad.
|
bout 50.00 worth of bondo will fix that!!!!!!!
