But still holy crap...I don't think i've ever seen a vehicle wrapped around a pole quite like that before.

How fast were they going? To do that kind of damage they must have been doing 50+ and got sideways.

Meh...Police citations are B.S. I had a kid "fail to yield" last year and hit me head on. Totalled my car ($13.5k+ damage). The only citation the little $hit received was "failure to yield." I'm still sore to this day. I hope the little $hit realizes what he did.

Edit: In the words of the cop, "he's in enough trouble as it is."

Sorry to see that my best wishes for his familey.

Notice that the sheet is still on the Jeep. And in the other pictures the fireman were geting ready to cut open the Jeep after it was off the pole.

Anyone see the movie "Secondhand Lions?"

Remember the scene where the two 90+ year old uncles flew a biplane into the barn?

That's how I want to go.
In a Jeep....having fun!

Maybe a Thelma & Louise jump into the sunset...;)






...When I'm 110 of course!
(think my XJ will last that long?)
