Check out the slide show. That's one strong telephone pole.

Normally I cringe when I see hotrods mangled up, but when i saw that, I was happy that now someone else can buy the engine and trans and build a real car....

He must've been carrying some speed!! (I wonder how fast at impact??)

I don't know, they would not be bad rides, IF ~500+lbs. could be pared off of them! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Overheard before getting into his Camaro... "I Gotta split." Thank you! I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

Hmm, so he was texting and drifted off the road? Looks like he hit probably the best part of the car to crumple a lot of stuff to gently absorb the impact energy. That probably kept the light pole out of his lap.
