2 Busted wheels
1 shredded tire
front driverside suspension arms
radiator, hoses, and electric fans
floorpan
drivers side turn signals
drivers side front and rear fenders
front nosepiece
possible damage to frame behind radiato

more than likely gonna cost a ton just in new parts, considering AA charged the owner close to $450 just for a canvas car cover

The no brakes things has me wondering what exactly caused them to fail.

I know it has to make him sick to the stomach to think that he'll have to fix it already.

On another note, I'm glad that he and his nephew are safe. Thankfully his head was in place in order to figure out a way to avoid a head on collision with the Volvo.

</TD></TR></TABLE>they didn't fail, he locked them up and slid. i have driven this car and can say from experience, that going from a normal car to this you lock the brakes up the first few times you touch the pedal. the feel is nowhere near the same asa regular car
