The skinny alloy wheel spokes breaking are not a surprise as they have less 
than ten percent of the necessary strength to tolerate an accident. Looks 
aren't everything. 

I wonder what the whole story is on this wreck. It would be interesting to know 
some of the technical details like speed and what was hit and why etc..

  I like the picture of the radiator, and the wheel from that one too.

      Hey! I made the top 120 list with this one: 
http://www.raytherat.com/wrecks/It%27ll%20buff%20out%2006_jpg.html

      That guy literally said "We got a half of mile of tubing back at the 
garage. We'll fab something up and put the running gear in it". Too much 
money.... combined with lack of skill and sense. Obviously a dangerous 
combination. 

      I have seen some of these in emails over the years. 

      Thanks,

        Ok.  Here ya go:
        http://www.raytherat.com/wrecks/Welcome.html

        I removed the shots I knew to be fatal, but lookin at some of the 
others, I don't see how they could help but be anything else.  Some are kinda 
funny (in a "Stupid People Tricks" kinda way) some are scary as hell and 
others...well, there are a couple that might belong to someone on this list.  
If that's the case, I'm not doing this to make light of anyone's suffering.

        I'm gonna leave this up thru Monday, then take it down cuz there are 
probably some copyright violations here.  But if ya like seein wrecks, here 
they are.  No, I'm not bored.  I'm avoiding work.  And now I'm goin to bed.

            Well, well, well.  I'd give out a POD if I knew who he (or she) was!
