My bro destroyed this trans am!
He was driving in bluebird canyon. It's a windy road that snakes through the canyon then up the sides of the hill, making a loop back down. About 3 miles long. It was friday night, and a lite drizzling rain. As he came into a a corner, his left rear wheel hit the reflector bumps on the double yellow line in the middle of the road. He told me the back end slid out and he tried to correct, but the car continued to slide in a 4 wheel drift, and right into a parked merceded benz. He was doing ~45-50. The car's uniframe is serverly bent, hood is toast, fender and qtr. pannel is trash. The car is gone now, and he has no ride. Plus he broke his foot. Other than that he's fine.
Just thought I'd let you know one more thirdgen is history. Here is a picture of his car before the accident.
It's in a good place now.

Ohhhhhh... ouch... Sorry to hear that.
I'm not sure I'd say a salvage yard is a good place lol. Whenever I go there, I have to keep telling myself that they're not cars, they only used to be cars. That's the only way I can sleep at night.
