My first vision of carnage was GTO related.... One of my uncle's buds had a'68 GTO and another had a Grabber Green '70 Boss 429. Jack had the Mustang. He used to tape a fifty cent piece to the dash and tell me, as a 10 year old, if I could grab the fifty cent piece while he was mashing the foot feed to the floor, I could keep the money....I never reached it. Anywho...they decided to race one afternoon. My grandparents and I happened by about 10 minutes after the race was over. Mustang Jack plowed into a railroad bridge trestle (car split in two, Jack dead) and the GTO was on it's top after having rolled probably a dozen times. The two passengers of GTO were in the ditch contorted in ways human bodies do not normally bend. One dead, one nearly. My granddad made me look. That was quite the learning for me. Maybe that's why I drive a 30 year old solid safe diesel that can hardly get out of its own way.
