Thread: One way to total a '32 Roadster

As for the seat belt thing, I've crashed with them and crashed without them, think I'll keep mine on... a rollover is not the usual crash... Guess I like a roll bar of some sort in my roadsters.... Ken's buddy getting thrown clear and survivng is the exception, not the rule.....most aren't so fortunate as sgo suggested....

Perhaps you are right. Last Feburary when I hit that wood & tore up my suspension- I got quite a bit of air- I mean it felt like the car was 5' off the ground! Then the landing- I got pretty tossed in the car but was belted in & the car stayed on all 4's. I guess if I was beltless, it wouldn't have taken much to toss me right out on the road. Ok- belts back on from now on.

On a couple of other forums there is a guy named Fred who has a T bucket. Just the other day he wrecked his too. He was going down the road, through an intersection and had the green, and a cop going the other way turned directly in front of him causing him to smash into the cop car. Cop jumped out accusing Fred of running the light, but a witness stepped up and contradicted that. Even the cops are out to get us.

What's going on with all these hot rods getting hit lately? Don and I are taking our T's to a cruise about two hours from here today. We are definitely going to be on the lookout and taking it easy.
