Mmmm panicked and hit the throttle. Wait until she sees the cost to replace the car..

Good to hear your friend there is not injured.

Just a point of interest. This is yet another SPF involved in a major accident it appears. I would be interested in knowing how well the occupants would have been protected by the design of the car...It sounded as if the collision occured on the empty passenger side of the car. How would a passenger have faired? Was Greg fully strapped in? Any rollbar and head contact? There was that accident a month or two ago where someone hit a poll and was ejected from his car...And of course Eddy K's accident in #799 not too long ago...I think we all learned something about the SPF rollbar attachment from Eddie's accident.. But I'm so glad to head that injuries were not major...

Blas, just in case others are not aware, it should be noted that Eddy K. AND his passanger survived a very nasty roll over, inpart THANKS to the SPF roll bar.

Was the bar damaged? Yes, but it was still standing, while the car was totaled! The Occupants walked away. I think the bar did it's job....

True, I should have clarified my statement a little more, I was referring to the lack of a bolt on the outside leg of the drivers hoop. Though a light weight rivet was added on later cars to prevent squeaks, a bolt sure looks to be a worthwhile Saturday afternoon project...And yes, the bar did its job admirably...giving its all...Sorry for the confusion about this...
