Is that it looks like we have a possible donor engine available.. I hope and pray that the occupant(s) are ok.

But in the back of my mind I am thinking, can we shoehorn that engine into my wife's Suzuki XL-7 (w/4 wheel drive) and make it a stealth screamer? even in the snow and rain? hmmmm :burnout:

looks like he tried to pass under an 18-wheeler (been there, done that) and didnt quite calculate it right. Yikes, must have been scary as hell to be in there when the dookie hit the fan.

I was thinking that the top was cut off intentionally by rescuers trying to extricate the victim(s). That windshield is cut too straight.

Just keep in mind that the C5 has the fifth stiffest frame in the world. Up there with Mercedes and Volvo so they take a whackin pretty well. They are stronger than our truck frames. It looks like a loss of control over 150mph against an immovable object. That drive shaft thingy in the torue tube ther entire drive train on a C5 is one piece bolted together from engine to transmission. The entire drivers and rear sections are powdered.
