I think I know what happened. What do you think?

My eye went to the back window first. It just didn't compute - how do you get this dent?


There is a lot of car carrier transport around here. Look at the damaged bed.


If I'm not mistaken, the hood looks busted. I think he must have rear-ended someone and launched a car from the trailer into his rear window. But by the time I got there the cars were gone???

Who to blame? Why does it matter?

If he trashed his own car because he's driving over his head, then there is some validity to your comment. I admire anyone who's willing to take a vintage race car out on the track vs leaving it in a museum, but in this case I would like to think he was driving within HIS limits because there were only six of these cars built.
