Wonder if it survived. Looks to be a pretty good hit. Is that an early Cuda in the background.?

1. got wrecked in the rain. Wiper up!
2. failure to brake...square hit to front. OR
3. Velocity exceeded traction.
4. Those of you who worry about early models without door guard beams etc. as unsafe, LOOK CLOSELY.....that guy walked away.
5. crumple zone...don't need no stinkin' crumple zone, we gotz SBC!
6. They buffed that out!

Motion cars could be bought with C2 side exit exhaust like the car pictured.
