What a shame!
Quote:
Smith: How did you figure out where the wreck was from the photos? Was it the big white water tower in the 9th photo? Wow.
JGEETO: Thank God that you were able to walk away (so to speak) from this tragic reck. There will always be another GTO Judge for restoration, but maybe next time, you will take the time to 'THINK' before you floor the hell out of your Goat!!!!! (car of the week 6/21/09 66 GTO)
Merry Joe K.: JGEETO, do you know what happened? Then why do you suggest this was due to the driver's negligence? Since you think the poster was the driver, clearly you don't know.
jeffmck2009: This kind of thing was common 40 years ago (many, many GTO's bit the dust, in all kinds of nasty and grumsome ways, back then...) It is VERY uncommon now (Fortunately). Did the dude live? (edited)
latech47: This is downright ugly. Hope dude is O K. Even if he walked away unharmed the anguish has to be heavy. I would still rebuild it. Just use its bones to clone.
Wabbitkiller: Oh, there's negligence. You don't mangle a car of that vintage that badly unless you're going pretty fast, and judging from the photos, this was a city side street. Needless to say, the driver was probably going well over the posted speed limit, so yes, there was negligence.
JGEETO: People, it seems that I keep going back to these pics. This group of pictures should be an eye opener for everyone!!! Please drive sensible. As you can see from these pictures, these high performance cars can harm or kill you in a blink of an eye.
69RA3: After some homework on GOOGLE, It appears the driver DID DIE at the hospital. I searched GTO JUDGE crash ST Paul Minnesota, I was able to find a link saying the driver had passed at the hospital.
Rockthe69: Wow what a SHAME!!!! I did that to a pole back in high school '70' Chevelle. I was lucky. not much more to say than holy crap. (edited)
GTO_Pete: It just makes me sick to see something like this. I have never seen one wrecked this bad. Man......
BOB: GTO MEETS PHONE POLE, THEY DONT LIKE EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOEVER WAZ DRIVIN NEEDS TALKIN TO!
Evan Scott: Now, I can see doing this to a Ford or Chevy - that would make perfect sense. But a Pontiac? I'm bewildered.
MURPH: I am sorry for your and the worlds loss
Goat Boy: That is the true definition of ugly.
Manderson: I witnessed the event and was the first to the car. He tried to pass between 2 cars going south at excessive speed, lost control and went into northbound traffic just missed several head on collisions but hit a pole instead. Alcohol was involved.
