That's what Vince Neil hit with his Pantera. The drummer from another band was in the car with Vince and was killed in the crash.

One issue i see with our hobby is that guys are welding structural parts of their cars in their garage. While the welds may look like a bunch of dimes in a row there is no way of telling if its good unless its tested either by XRay, dye pen, mag part etc. i have welders working for me that work on high pressure gas and steam. Some have been welding 25 years and once in a rare while they have a bad weld caught by these tests. God forbid any of us get in a bad wreck with bad welds holding structural parts together what may have been survivable probably wouldnt be. Just putting this out there.

I took driver ed with Amos Neyhart’s protege in the late 1960s at State College High. Signal 30 was removed from the curriculum the year before. Over three decades later, I dug it up, and used it for my orientation class when I was safety director for a major trucking company. Made a serious impression all those years later.

Pretty certain signal 30 was used in Driver ED in the early 60’s also.

That one looks like it was parked in a driveway and the parking brake didn't hold and it rolled away. A reminder to always leave your car in gear when parked or even put a chock behind a tire!
I remember back in my teens I was working on my manual trans Challenger in the driveway, trying to adjust the carb or something, and walked away to get a tool in the garage.
I turned around to see my car rolling down the driveway! It rolled across the street and hit the curb and the rear end went airborne for a second as it bounced over the curb into the neighbors yard as I stood there and watched helplessly! Fortunately there was no car parked across the street at the time, or traffic on the road or the story wouldn't have been so funny!

I got out of my 70 Charger R/T and I was walking away from the car, I heard the sound of the shifter clicking out of gear,and the sound of the tires rolling on the gravel. I couldn't get the door open to stop the car with the brakes, so I got behind the car and tried to stop it, which I couldn't do,but I softened the impact as the corner of my freshly chromed bumper hit the plow on a truck that I was working on for someone, pushing the bumper into my freshly painted NOS rear quarter panel and chipping the **** out of the paint!

This car......

....was at a Pick N Pull self serve yard. That is where this picture was taken. There was nothing that I could use or I would have driven across several states to pick it clean.

I hate when junkyard's pick cars up by the roof distorting the roof structure then putting them on the roof of another car wrecking the roof of that car as well!
