Kidding about parting out. a friend sent me this. I cant help but wonder what hit this car to make it this bad. I'm thinking either meteorite or space shuttle.

It looks like a R. My guess would be that it went off the road at a high speed and was stopped by a tree.

Oh, I'd estimate 120mph or better. That is just violent.

Many years ago, I loaned my nice silver 240 sedan to a 20-year old friend of mine. He went out with his girlfriend for his gf's Bday. Got a call that night -- he was driving 75 mph on a 35-40 mph turn on Cali Highway 1, hit a tree, but both him and GF survived. I got the car in pieces. Volvo definitely saved their lives.

See photo of an unfortunate soul's Oldsmobile cut in half

That hurts to seen an Oldsmobile like that. I miss Olds. I've always had one...until recently. Feel bad for the people in it, too.
