we pretty much cut the whole front of the car off, and pulled it straight out, even though it was a bit more complicated than that lol, the body is bent on the inside and the bellhousing kept getting caught and we eventually sawsall''ed that crap out too lol

he''s alive is pretty much the best par, hes in that one pic with the motor, if you can see hes left arm is in a sling ( usless) he pulled some nerves, but had surgry to hopefully get some kinda motion back but hasnt done much, his right arm works ok. and he is deaf in his left ear where his jaw broke and ripped through his ear canal...other than that hes doin good

as far as the motor hes keeping everything but the heads so if anyone wants the heads there up for sell, trans is already sold. lol he said (idk if he was joking or not) that he is gonna put the motor in a ranger and call it the shocker since its not quite the lightning lmfao

reason he survived was he hit a tree and the door opened and the seat belt broke and was thrown from the car

he was actually racing a red camaro...they cops wrote down 75 but theyve also said 100+
i think the camaro forced him off the road, is personally what i think..just because of how he wrecked and the way the skid marks were...and where they were, and considering how jumpy our rear ends our, i think he either got close or forced him off the road...well the guy in the camaro kept going never stopped dont know who it was and just left him for dead
