A Camaro looks like it could kick your ass.

Crashes make the news! It must be something to see a TA folded up.

Amazing how damaged it was compared to the other car. Looks like technology has one outcome, safer cars...

I am not against someone doing burnouts or having a little fun. But doing it in a residential area or anywhere where innocent people could get hurt is pretty irresponsible. A bad decision on the drivers part. His car likely to become spare parts for someone else. I hope the driver lives and learns.

Kind of Sad.

Looks like it could be listed on eBay as a project started, but owner lost interest. Just needs some reassembly and some detailing.

With a heavy engine in front, not much weight over the rear wheels and no VSC these cars will get sideways or swap ends pretty easily.
