Totalled S-10

Figured I'd throw up a pic of my friend's 92 S-10 after he fell asleep on the interstate and ran into a guardrail. The wheel, calliper, and disc were torn off on impact. Bent the frame. He had no injuries, passenger's knee put a dent 5" deep into the dash. After he hit the guardrail, he drove it up the off ramp (clover style off ramp) and drove another mile and a half on 3 wheels (taking four 90 degree turns along the way). Then he parked it at a gas station and had me pick him up. No tickets issued, no fines, liability only on the truck.



P.S. if anybody finds an iroc style rim with the disc still hooked up, let me know, he wants it back.

To see the pic, right click, select "properties", copy the URL into your address bar. The host doesn't appear to allow image-linking.

Anyways I'm glad that no one was hurt, but man, that thing is bent to hell.

For some reason, that line cracked me up.
