Default GT500 vs train
Drove by this sight today. Apparently the barriers came down on his windshield and instead of going back, he just gunned it. Guy was in his 60s so I wonder what he was thinking. Took the train 1.4 mile to stop and it dragged the car for 50 yards.

I know right, it's almost surreal to look at.My wife got a better view and saw them cutting it off. The train smashed him square in the driver's door, prolly @ 40 MPH.

Can I borrow that front bumper? And perhaps the lights and mounting hardware?
