Default Beautiful cars..Ugly crashes...

With everyone starting to take their cars out we will be seeing more of scenes like this one. A beautiful car that has an unfortunate and ugly crash.

I thought that maybe we could have one thread to post some of those scary moments.

Luckily for this driver he was able to walk away.

After what happened with my truck recently, I have been doing a lot of thinking. I've decided that I won't be racing either of my Chevelles. Collector car insurance will not cover an incident like this. I'm not a wealthy man, and both cars have a huge amount of centimental value to me.

I wonder if he broke an axle. Something broke for sure and i doubt the car will get fixed.

Rear tires unloaded right after the car came down from it's wheelie. Very quick shift of the car's center of gravity...
That Chevelle needs either adjustable shocks or the rear ones weren't adjusted correctly.
I've had this happen personally but with less dramatic results thankfully.
