    Wow....that is bad....how bad was the driver hurt? I say "how bad" because with a car lookin' like that....he's gonna be banged up. Not to mention he prolly had a concussion. Looks like someone might have pulled out in front of the grabber and then stopped??......or else he just looked away and hit them....That happens....Been there and done that! Man, that was a gorgeous car! Somebody spent a TON of time and money on that thing. Hopefully the driver wasn't hurt too badly and hopefully the damage just looks worse than it really is.....Preston

    Yeah, I noticed that...definitely painted. Made me wonder if they might be f/g at first but it looks like they bent like steel. That car is still repairable and I believe it's worth doing so too.

    this is the link to the article. Yes it was recent.
    http://www.lvfd1.org/index.cfm?mws=publicnews.detail&News_ID=228
    Yes people got hurt but I haven't been able to find out which people were hurt or if they are ok now. It happened not too far from my house and the reason the Bumpers are probably painted is we are down in the sticks and there aren't any Rechromers local that I know of. Used to be one years back but I don't know what ever happend to them of if they even did good work.

    Anyway I am still going to try to find out any info that I can on the car and the driver and hopefully he/she will be ok and I can hook them up to this board and some of you folks so they can get parts to put it back together. Parts in my area are hard to come by because of the rust factor (and we are out in the sticks LOL)

    Glad to hear the occupants are ALIVE - anyone think a Honda Accord in those circumstances would have done better??? (I think not)


    Its metal people - it can be fixed/repaired

    Aww..... man but that was a pretty car. Reminded me of Ray's for just a second there too, must've been the blueness. Wow though, with that much damage to the front end I'll bet there's frame damage all the way to the back. Whoever had that put a lot into it, serious shame to have it declared totalled by insurance...
