Default Poor C4's...

Found a collection of pictures on my computer while cleaning out my hard drive and thought I'd share.

With so few of these cars on the roads these days, I often wonder just how many C4's still exist and how many thousands (or possibly even tens of thousands?) have been destroyed in one way or another, over the years.

It's sad seeing all these poor car's smashed up, but on the bright side, they just make whatever remaining examples of nice, clean C4's all the more special.

Take good care of your cars guy's and drive safe.

P.S. DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST!!!!!

I believe that first car had Mo plates on it. Some of those I would think did not end well for the occupants.

I think your right Mike. I believe I've seen that picture before, from the tornado damage up around St. Louis back in Dec.

They don't need any more ammunition, they can find plenty.
He didn't post anything that you couldn't already find by doing a Google search.

A whole lot of them look like they were hit from behind. I try to stay aware of vehicles behind me when I brake hard, knowing they can't stop as quickly. Traffic here isn't crowded, just stupid somedays. The reason I have my C4 is a co-worker drove through the back my other car while I was waiting to get throught the gate.

I hope to never see my car in this thread, or any of yours.

The pics in this thread make me cringe and appreciate my car that much more. Long live the C4!

If I'm not mistaken, some of those cars were forum members here. Some of those pics make my skin crawl

I can't believe how many cars/truck land on top of C4's.

It looks like they use them for drive up ramps. Ouch
