Does anyone else see a common denominator here. In most of the pics did you see that there was snow on the gound. I don't know about you guys but my car sucks in the snow. I will not ever drive it for 1 in snow and 2 snow = salt f-bodys hate salt.

Thats actually a pic of unedited footage of a "turbo boost" that shows the landing. They never showed that landing in the TV show. The car practically flew apart on landing and that goes against KITTs molecular bonded shell theory

The front end bent up so far that you could see the top of the tires and the engine, the right front tire was tilted out pretty far and the rear hatch unlatched on impact and shattered before the back of the car hit the ground.

Holy ****..tell me about it, I live in Southern Ontario right on the lake. Being a poor university student in need of his own car, I was forced to drive my Camaro in the snow, ice and salt to my co-op job everyday. I've paid for it. Rust that was repaired to some degree (free job, paint was ****tly done) has started to reappear. Who knows what under body/internal rust I have contributed to . Also, despite having snow tires on, I slid all over the place, never got stuck for long though. A few close calls to get my heart pumping for sure.

i don't have pics, but when i wrecked my car the 1st time, i was driving 100+ and a deer jumped out in front of me. i literally ripped the deer in half. part of it's rib cage was stuck in my back tire. all it really did was tear off the driver side headlight, put a few dents in the driver side fender and door, and blow out the driver side rear tire. i slid a LONG distance right off the road and right along side a big fence, never hitting it. i guess i was lucky.

the 2nd time, this a** hole locked up the beakes in front of me. it was a huge truck with a steel bumper. i went under it a little, ripping the headlights off, turn signals, demolishing the hood, collapsing the fenders, and bending the radiator support in. i now have a power bulge hood that's black, and was able to get the rest of the parts in red like the rest of my car. i also got the support bent back out with the help of a tree and some heat. just need one part of the headlight and it's ready to go. i've got a couple of pics of it tied to a tree with the rest of the parts on, just haven't gotten around to getting them up yet.

not sure yet what i am doing with the car. i am waiting to find out what his insurance is going to pay and how my x rays turn out.
i hope i can save this one, seeing as there aren't many low mileage and almost rust free in the area.
