Another one bites the dust

Well I was driving around today and saw an acciedent up a head. It was a beautiful 280zx that had rear ended a truck that was hauling wooden pallets. Needless to say there was nothing left of the Z. I talked to the guy after the cops left and found out he had a supercharged 350 in it. When he hit the truck the radiator got pushed up into the block and f'd it up royally. The supercharger was almost torn all the way off of the manifold and just hanging by a bolt. I did not have my camera with me so sorry no pics of the carnage.

I don't think he had his car set up right for that much power. no roll cage, stock brakes, stock interior.. the perfect sleeper if he had better brakes that is.

Yup, he still lives around WC. I'm in San Ramon right next door too, but I've seen it... in his drive way...
