Default Dropping Like Flies !!



I wonder how many of the original 76,048 are "off" the market?

I dont think you could salvage anything off that one....... I was wondering what hit it until you mentioned the train incident....

That rear wheel still looks good. I'm sure there's still some parts that are intact in there that could be salvageable. Doesn't look like that soft-top would have helped with living at all.

edit: Chris, where did you find that number?

Having driven a few railroad engines,I can tell you that it is amazing how well the XF held up! Glad no one (else) was harmed.

Good Lord that thing is jacked up. I must say though, am I the only one who thinks that it actually still looks pretty good considering it was hit by a locamotive? No? Maybe?

I think XF REDO posted it .....I saw it in the gallery....

My favorite (odd choice of words I admit) though is the video of the one being lifted out of the grand canyon by a helicopter......

I'd be more curious to see how many SRT-6's are still intact.

Now that would be an interesting number.
It would appear as though many have gone by the wayside.
