The front wheels pushed on the fenders and the entire front area (hood ,fenders and bumper cover) is not the most connected thing to teh car.You can see that the interior is pretty much intact .

What im curious is if the back window smashed from the sandbags or from the car hitting the ground....I mean there are some holes in the roads here ...

btw are there any companies that still make glass for these cars ...hatch and windshield? I looked once and it seems no one is making glass for these cars but i see people keep smashing windows.

I'm also curious about glass availability.
I seen a new rear hatch glass on ebay for around $900.

Its just crazy how high in the air that reno 911 jump was!
Very sad to see what appeared to be a relatively nice Trans Am survive all these years, only to be trashed by some idiot for a tv show.
You would think something like that could easily be done in CG these days?
