Tragic fatal accident.

*Not the car's fault, despite the propaganda sign.

 

No hazmat cleanup here . . . Just some dryzit or kitty litter, possibly dirt if nothing else.

 

Gauges, gauges, we no need no steekin’ gauges.

 

I wonder if others shared my reaction to displays like this. I always resented them and their inference that the HP of the car had something to do with the accident. The truth is that the cause was driver incompetence. '57 Chevys were not exactly a roundhouse of HP. Perhaps driving 90MPH with an incompetent at the wheel was the problem. The father of the driver is in denial and looking for a cause to blame other than his son. Just my reaction.
