This one is my favorite so far. It was stock, no lift, stock tires, driving onroad and simply running into a curb at 20mph.

I still have not seen a shattered housing that was trussed. I would be curious to see if that would help, though I would 'assume' that it would not.

Nah, he's just trying to get that Hellaflush look going on.

Those cars make me laugh every time I see one.
