where I live you most certainly won't.  I did find a 1983 or 84 turbo coupe, though.

Hit it so hard it turned into a Chevy/GMC ;)

An 18-wheeler can be just as effective as a train, as the unfortunate driver of this Mazda found out the hard way:


If i remember correctly, you know this too, or at least i have heard about you crashing into an 18 wheeler....you have a lot of luck.

So was the hood and right fender. The only two panels on the car not bent. God I kick myself for wrecking that car - it had 80k miles on it and was a low option 5.0 car (A/C, power windows and mirrors but no cruise control or power seats or locks). And it looked SO ED HOT with those slot wheels...

Tho on closer inspection the driver's mirror does look broken (I honestly don't remember)...

here's a sad day.
This car was my moms. She was going to give it to me when I got my license. It got totaled right where it sits, in front of our house one night. the driver of the other car fell asleep and hit it at about 70mph.
This was the start of the need for a cougar.

This is the only car i've ever totaled.  the only reason was i totaled it after it was paid off and its a hyundai so it wasnt worth as much as the work that it needed.  the dent on the hood on the right side was from the exhaust of a ford focus.  his ass was in the air my nose was burried in the ground when we impacted.  i got knocked senseless just by the air bags going OFF, only injury was a burn on my wrist and busted knuckles (left hand was on the wheel, just about to take it off, and the right hand was on the shifter) the bag blew my hand off the wheel and the impact sent my hand into the dash.  to make a long story shorter, he jumped in the left lane to pass a truck that was turning into a driveway on a 4 lane, and then jumped back in and slammed the brakes. no one was in the left lane infront of him, he still rearended the SUV too, it made no sense.  the airbags freaked me out, i dont ever want a car with them ever again.  btw, the first thing the first cop to arrive said to me was "where is the other vehicle" but the kid didnt get charged with leaving the scene BULL ISH.  btw nose was crunched down and the damage was worse than the pics show (windshield, airbags, whole front clip)

Looks like a bone-stock AMC Gremlin to me :hick:

While were showing off wrecks, here's what's left of my buddy's '85 T-Bird after he came over a blind crest and found a drunk driver on the wrong side of the road bearing down on him at ~55MPH. Note the undamaged hood - between this car and my Cougar we were beginning to think these hoods were indestructible:
