When I saw the title, I thought WTF?
It's really kind of sick...

 

That there is some heavy duty crunchn!

 

i've seen that first pic a 100 times, but i always wondered what was going through that guys mind about rite then?

 

I Like this one here................
Spoons

 

And ya wonder why there are no 32's! huummmm?

 

There is a whole book on this a Boarders. Hard bound no less.

 

Here's a bad car wreck from the folder Jason posted the link for. Now that is scary...

 

Im seriously cold.
slightly disturbing- saw a car crash a year or so ago- blood from one end of a white wagon to the the other......

 

old cars are a horrible way to die.

 

Here are some my dad took. They must have been friends cars.

 

And they claim drifting was started in Japan!!!!!!!!!

 

Poor damned Mopar... it didn't do anything to anybody!

Well, except the other guy (unless it was a Cadillac)!

Jason, I swear, looking at gory car wreck pix must be a Show Me State thingie.

My Dad grew up about 100 miles north of you (halfway between Maryville & Bethany --off of Hwy 169) and when they were cleaning out my great aunts estate about 10 years ago, we were looking through photo album after photo album of newspaper clippings where people (friends of hers I presume) had been in car wrecks and the newspaper photographers would take these gory pictures and print them in the newspaper back in the 40s & 50s.

Heck, there were pictures of the people laying dead in the car before they were extracted right there on the front page of the Times Tribune (Grant City) and the Maryville Daily Forum!! I remember us kids all saying "why in the h@## would someone print that type of stuff??". The worst of it was we had to look at each album because there were other keepsakes that had to be purged. I remember some family members (from up there) wanted those gory pictures because they knew the deceased people and thought their relatives might want the newspaper clipping for their own collection. I remember thinking 'My God.......!!!'

I guess I know why now. Jason, it must be a thing bred into you folks up there in the great state of MO!!

 

Well you know, is IS the "Show Me" state. It got that nickname for a reason, I guess.

Here's a photo series from a norwegian newspaper: http://www.bt.no/lokalt/article337482.ece

 

Check out the book Car Crashes and Other Sad Stories. It has old car crashes and old homicide photos. Totally grotesque but somehow I just cant look away.

Never mind the crash ptcs, where the hell do you find this thing. I'm simultaneously revolted and intrigued:

 

My Mother in laws first fiance was killed in '64, their car slammed into the side of a service station, I think it was an early '50's Plymouth coupe from the photos I had seen. Anyway, she found out about his death when a friend/family member brought her his bloody hat from the crash site. Needless to say, she had a breakdown after that. Yes, even in NC, those old papers held some ghastly and haunting images of wrecks, and, I myself keep looking for them/at them.

 

Here's one.

 

And another

 

And another taken 12/24/66

 

this is taking things a little too far. I get the "if you don't like it don't look" mentality... but why show pictures of a flipped over beer truck.

That is crossing the line, mister!

 

heres two from a book called crash! that my buddy got me. some sweet rides all banged up in here.

 

Heres one i like

 

i got a book called "vintage car wrecks" its pretty interesting. sometimes you gotta wonder if the people survived but some actually DO.

this guy CJ whos on here "johnny bondo" got rear-ended. he ended up geting more for the car then he paid for it... but it was heartbreaking cuz it was his first old car.

 

Some of these are from the Frank Mack Collection,... Frank did Heavy Collision Repair,
