Default GMC performing a guardrail integrity test

Hey, was this one of you guys?





But seriously, it was a 22 year old headed to college in Washington and fell asleep. That's 120ft of guardrail sticking out the back. He wasn't hurt but I'll bet he's pissed off about his new Volant.

posted all over the place third time ive seen it, and still amazes me. missed the engine, only glass it broke was the glass it went through. thats insane. just goes to show the strength of a GM product from back in the day. also shows that guardrails should be inspected for strength and integrity, (spelling FTL) im pretty sure they arent supposed to do that.
