How did that Comodore even manage to stay together just driving over a pot hole.

The best bit is that model of Commodore came with a 5ltr V8 and did rather well in production car racing!

There is something up with that particular Commodore or it's a high speed crash, I grew up driving them plus other Holdens and they are fairly stout. Certainly not something that folds up quite like that!
