Red 3rd Gen crashed into Dumpster in Richmond VA

Holly crap. A budy of mine just called me and told me about a Red 3rd gen with tan interior that is crashed into a large dumpster on the very end of 1800 block of Grace St here in Richmond VA ... right at the end just before it hits the 1600 block.

The front of the car was all burnt up and half of the hood was broken off and missing. The entire back half of the car was still in good shape he said. He called me because I live about 5 minutes away and he thought it was mine. Figured I was in the hospital somewhere, but thank God that my car is safe at DeltaV getting worked on right now. Oh ****... I hope it wasn't mine... I am going by there to check the lisence plate number.... ... .... ...... ....

My budy just went out there to check the plate number for me.... jeez I started to think maybe someone stole mine from the shop and wreckec it but it wasnt mine. Feel bad for the guy that owns it though.

My friend was going to take a couple pictures for me with the digital camera, but he only got to take one before a group of large guys at a party accross the street started yelling and charging at him like a bunch of retards, lol. Unbelievable, dont you just love the fan? Chock full of neanderthals. I used to live there and used to be one... so I know, lol. anyways here is the pic:

pwned?

You'd think someone would accompany the car until a tow truck came and picked it up to take it home or to a shop or something.

****, I would...

Sir! You're bleeding from the jugular! We have to take you to the emergency room via Medivac helecopter!

Hold on a sec. I gotta make sure my car gets home okay.

So it's not just me, eh? That scenario has played out in my head many a time.

"Gasp! If I were to get into an accident, they might take me to the hospital before I got to stand by and make sure the tow truck guy knows how to put my car on the flatbet w/o scratching her!!" LOL. I'm DEAD serious...

UPDATE:

My gf saw this car on a rollback on Hermitage heading north this afternoon around 2pm. I'd kill to know if it was going to a junkyard somewhere nearby.
