Death of a 65...will make you sick

NWS for some of the language in the posting

I don't know the owner but have seen the car several times. It was a real clean car.

Holy ____ ! What a bad scene. Wake-up call to check and re-check your collector car insurance coverage ...

It looks like it was the Eastbound exit ramp to Blue Mound Road. That ramp is steeply graded and it is easy to loose control if you are exiting to fast. I feel for everyone involved except for the lady who did all the damage.

That's a shame.
I hope all those guys had insurance and up to date like oldsmobomb said. I just had my Goat re-appraised and it increased the agreed value by 6K, way too low before.
A few years back at our big local cruise a well known local idiot in a pro-street Camaro was pulling out of his spot. He revved it way up and dropped it into gear and the throttle stuck. He took off and hit a 34 Ford parked across the aisle and it rolled the Ford completely over another car, he ended up on top of everything. Lucky nobody was hurt and he didn't kill any of the hundreds of people walking around.
The jerk showed his face there a couple of weeks back and was run out of the place.
