This book is filled with intriging photo's of mishaps, and crunches. My husband found this to be his favorite book. Its just curious nature I guess, to see these once beautiful cars now twisted, and mangled.

A reminder to wear your selt belt! June 26, 2007

As a vintage car enthusiast, looking at all the crumpled old cars shown in "Crash!" that were once beautiful sculptures is fascinating though a bit unsettling. Some photos leave the viewer wondering how the car could have been twisted that way or left positioned so strangely. Fortunately, information on some crashes was available to the author. The book is a quick read and is at the very least a reminder to fasten your selt belt and drive safely or else become the subject of a sequel!
