Sure did, That was sad, but I don't think it would have been so bad if it had not got stuck in the middle. He did drive off with it for a few feet still.

Yeah that wasnt fair, the CRX was between the two cars so of course it looked worse.

I think its quite possiable that would have happened to either of the other cars put in the same spot.

I was impressed the CRX did as well as it did, considering that it was sandwiched between two cars each traveling at 50mph. The little Rex was bent, but not flattened.
A WarrenTee is better than a guarantee. This WarrenTee is for life.

Uh. It hurts deep into my bones every time they hit that old crx. But at least it got 15 minutes of fame before it died.
I would rather see them destroy that new Corvette than the old crx.
