That's the main reason I sold my 100% original 67 Corvette roadster with 427, close ratio 4-speed, factory A/C, factory side exhaust, etc. - afraid to drive it anymore because of what could happen.

No worries with my 56 Canadian Pontiac - not that I am planning on a crash, but if it happens, it'll be my excuse to start another project, and odds are the 496 will survive to power another.

By the way, you guys with old cars, do you have them insured with one of the specialty insurors, where you agree upon the value of the car?

The guy's probably fortunate he was driving what he was as many different cars even from the same era may not have been so kind to him?.

Getting through w/ his life and full health is the main thing but the drivetrain still being intact is a bonus!.

I have never forgotten my driver's education teacher stating we should never risk an accident to save an animal's life. I have lectured my wife on that many times. My kids are growing up being taught not to swerve a vehicle to save an animal's life.

I'm sorry if this offends animal lovers but I believe it is very sound advice.

I have to say that I think it is a natural reflex to swerve, it takes real maracas to blow over something in front of you, especially for inexperienced drivers. I've done it but it is something I often think about.  Jr. told me today about swerving to miss a raccoon on the cottage road and how he was surprised how hard it was to recover the car, he was lucky that time.
