What you need to do is try attempting this again, only increase the approach speed a little. Say, 80 mph give or take. Lemme know how that works out I think it will move. :hick:

As long as CP realizes he can't say he didn't see it....kinda hard to miss a big pole..much less when it has concaved the grille somewhat.

Next time..use a Camaro to test the local poles, lol.

Better yet, make sure there is no "next time".

I only hit the thing form a rolling start maybe like 3-5 feet away foot slipped off the brake and hit the gas. Time for a TurboCoupe nose and a full paint job soon and i got a set of TC fog lights somewhere around the house allready.

Out of the 4 wrecks i ever had this time i did not hit a car or did a car hit me. Also 3 out of 4 of them where less than 10 MPH. Then 1 out of 4 times i was not even in the car at the time of the wreck but i still was the one that started the car.

The pole is more like the things in front of a store that keep you form driving in not that i was 2 lazy to walk in my foot slipped off the brake onto the gas. Without that there i might of made it past the front door.

I went to pull up on some plastic car ramps on my freinds driveway, and sailed into his house when the ramps slipped. That didn't even crack the header panel and barely scratched the bumper. I was going at least 10 to 15. You would have had to be doing more like 25 or just had everything hit just right.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
