Default Sad death of boost PICS!

So my bro-in-law talked to a friend of ours yesterday.

He has a 1987 Chevy Sprint Turbo. Very rare car, and very cool. Well sadly, it died a while back. Something popped 1 of his tires and he lost control of the car, and ended up rolling it and hitting a telephone pole. I guess when the tire blew it immediately pitched him into the ditch on the side of the road.

Really sucks, that car was mint and every panel was ruined. Rare stuff like that is hard to see go.

And now some picture love, this was not the actual vehicle.

Screw that, that car was cool as hell for what it was. Someday you'll make great landfill material.
