      Given the probable speed of the chevelle, if he'd lost control and spun the car at speed in excess of 80 mph the weight would have all been on the front of the car as it impacted. the nose of the car would have been down, and the ass end up. The malibu hit this upset balanced car in directly in the frame since it was raised up off the ground. actually knocking the frame out from under the car.
      Very plausible deduction, especiallt if the axle was impacted, that would cause the outward buckle of the rear frame to the Pass Side.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
