was on the PA Turnpike today while it was snowing on my way to Pittsburgh to meet quadman. went to pass a salt truck (me going 60 mph) that was just throwing it out. front tires went past fine then without warning i was sideways, drifted in front of the plow truck, perfectly, then did the ricky bobby driving backwards on the interstate until i hit a boulder sending the car flying.
this is the resting place.
salt truck is in the first pic
the back window is missing because of the wheel laying against the car went through it
got some other pics that i might put up later. i am at a loss of words. it only had 14k miles on it. FML

That really sucks...But I dint think its totaled. That rear should be able to be pulled out, or at least they could get a salvaged one. Hope they can bring it back. Although there might be a lot of damage underneath that we cant see.
Best of luck to you.

So, the stock 18"' wheel/tire was in the back seat and went through your rear window? Frick, that car is a gonner. Glad you made it to post the pics though. Time for AWD

I am most glad you are ok, broh... very sorry about your car for sure.
Please no offense... please..... but 60mph in snowy conditions? High performance cars are a disaster in bad weather...........
hope you can find another gto if thats what you want... again, glad you are ok.. that back window thing is scary.
I am suprised you have not caught more shit for driving that car in those conditions. I am no saint though and have done shit like that more times than I can count.
The RR quarter damage is pretty bad. I'd say she's done for.

Screw weather like that. Also driving 60mph in that weather isn't the smartest move on your part. I can see why it only had 14k on her and why she's now a goner. RIP Goat

In snow no more than 30 or 40 MPH at best. And that is all I do in my front drive Grand Prix. What is with this snow so early ? ? I am only in NJ and I for one, prefer winters with as little snow as possible(not that we can control it, only where we live) .. You might be able to fix it .. rear quarter, trunk floor, bumpers, maybe frame damage, but from the photos the frame doesn't seem too bad. Doors are still aligned and looks like both would open and close normally.
