Pics of friends wrecked '91 Formula 350

These pics are from 5 years ago. He went out drinking with some co-workers and got pretty sloshed. He had another co-worker drive him home. It was raining pretty hard that night and the rear tires had very little tread left on them. The guy who was driving didn't lnow how to handle a car like that and tried to pass someone on a 4 lane roadway. The rears broke loose and the car fishtailed and lost control. It slid sideways at 40mph into to trees.

That car WAS cherry until this happened:

The driver got a nasty bruise on his leg from getting crunched between the seat and the steering wheel. He was so scared after the accident, he immediately got out of the car and took a ****-on the hood of the car!!!

Ummm, three of them were.

The car also had South Side Machine SFC's that probably kept the car from bending more than it did. The rocker panel was pushed in 13" and up 5"!!!
