How to turn $100,000 worth of new trucks into junk

How to turn $100,000 worth of brand new trucks into scrap...

Step 1. Come speeding down a hill at around 60mph in a 40mph zone in a tractor trailer and make sure to tow a heavy load in your trailer. Step 2. Lose control of your truck and have your trailer roll across the front line of the local Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealer in the process messing up 4 brand new $40-45,000 each GMC Sierra pick up trucks. Even causing a light poll to drop on one of the trucks (I would have payed good money to see this happen!)

This all happened this past Monday at the Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealer I work at here in St. Louis. In the 1st few pics of the black truck, you can see what a large light post does when it falls onto your brand new Sierra. The doors still close and it drives just fine!!

The pics of the engine bay are of a green loaded up Sierra Z71. As you can see, this one the trailer rolled into and pushed the engine back at least a foot in the process ripping the intake manifold off, splitting the drivers side head in two pieces, cracked the altenator, shredded the radiator like aluminum foil, the carnage!

This kind of stuff is what makes working at a dealership fun!!!!

For you St. Louis folks, this happened at Lou Fusz Pontiac/Buick/GMC last week.

Wow... Iassume the guy did not run off. And did he have Insurance ?

Are you going to advertise these with a discount like they are doing at Don Brown with those hail damaged cars? I bet that trucker feels pretty stupid right now.
