Geezo-peezo! I hope so, too! Even if it was a badly rusted car with a paint job, it is restorable these days.

Apparently it was real, and senseless.

Holy crap! Can you imagine if you were the previous owner of the car and what idiot decided this was a good idea?! Worse, what if the owner thought this was a good idea?! WTF was artistic about this? Shock value?!

I think this was real. I got a call a few months ago from a production company in NYC, they wanted a 911 shell they could crush. I told them no.

Glen; Hagerty did not wreck the car. They merely reported it.

That's what bothered me Vic, their part and purpose in it all. Its quite one thing to overreach your skills and loose control of the beast, yet bothersome to celebrate its destruction for the sake of prejudice or advertisement.

Hagerty's parody of the original ad is brilliant.
