Check out my BEFORE and AFTER pics

Here are a few of my 1987 RS Camaro BEFORE:






And AFTER: (After I sold it and the guys girlfriend wrecked it.)



She drove it too fast into a corner, went up an embankment, and rolled it over. If you look closely, you can see the drivers rear wheel/tire in the hatch area. The hub was still bolted to the wheel; it just snapped the axle right off.

What a waste....

Wow, that's a chop top!!! I hope I never roll my car if I get into an accident. Makes me want to get a roll cage ASAP. Until I do I'll just keep my seat as far back and low as possible to give me that little bit of insurance.

She was actually VERY lucky and had only minor scrapes and bruises. I think the only reason she was able to roll it was because she drove onto an uphill embankment and then it rolled as she was coming off of the hill.

It's a good thing you sold it before It got crashed. Those dang women drivers j/k. It's also good that the car didn't have T tops, otherwise she may have had chared glass all over face.

Women , the are mostly naive when is come to driving.

They seem to be way too distracted when driving.

Otherwise....

OMG You have to be fuking kidding me. <font color=red>LOOK @ THAT ****!!!!</font> Dont you hate that though. You just sell your ride thinking its in good hands. Then some <font color=red>BATCH!</font> comes along and **** it all up. That ticks me off. Well I hope shes not dead or anything but I sure hope she never drives again B-4 she takes someone else down with her stupid azz. *** that <font color=red>SUX!</font> I hate stupid drivers that I see on the road 99% of the time is a woman and the other 1 are those people who come from parts of the world where they dont have more than 50 cars in the state. Even those people drive better then some stupid ***** putting on makeup while talking on a cell phone to some other dumb batch who both are giving each other dirrections on how to get to some place that they NEVER HEARD OF!!!!!! <font color=red>AAHHH **** <u>SHOOT ME</u> FIRST B-4 She gets to me!!!</font>


Now dont get me wrong there are probably some good woman drivers out there. Raidraif might be one if then seeing that her car is always in show quality condition. + She puts enough into that car to respect it. Its those <i><font color=blue>"My dady bought be a big EXCURSION!! so you will die on the road instead of me"</font></i> person. Or a load of them who didnt earn the car in any way and dont give to much of a *** about anything cuzz <font color=red><i>"Insurance will cover it"</font></i> No respect for the SUV, no respect for other drivers on the road cause its just one big lane with only her on it and NO RESPECT FOR <font color=red>YOU</font> DRIVING THERE!!! Look out for these people. I would rather you <font color=red><u>slash their tires</font></u> than to have you drive your thirdgen next to them.


K I'm done venting now......This world has a hideous face and thats part of it that I wish I never saw. Makes you wish there was some kinda place where you could go where there is nothing ugly there to show. Just peace.........but I guess I'm not there.

Dude I HEAR YOU!


I live in a pretty much rich place, and I swear 90% of the time i see a SUV, its a blonde women OR a older guy, Both on cell phone. Man those things are so big, learn how to freaking drive'em! Wasent there a new law suppose to come out, to force SUV owners to take a SUV Driving course???


Any how what the REAL story for the wreck, was she running late for a meeting ?

WHat was your reaction when you found out and when you where taking the pics?

Did the new owner only have the car for a week, a month ?

Oh man that sucks. I dont know about women but I can talk on a cell phone and drive at the same time. I was run off the road once while i was talking on the phone went into grass, got back on the road, flipped the person off....all while on the phone

is anything still good on the car? rims look ok but thats about it. at least on that side.

I could use the passenger GFX under the door. Looks like it survived the crash.
