"Man Down" - Lost Bosses

[VoodooBoss]

The report states they did and you can see in the photo the driver one popped.

I guess I'm getting old. SH-- can always happen, but when I see driving like that with the weaving between the cars on a congested highway it's really gets to me. I feel bad for the car and the people who built it. I hope he took a bath financially. Like you guys said, the car will resurrect itself I'm sure - hopefully with someone who respects the sport and the car!

PS: Got my owners package today - very cool.

Ditto

I'm surprised that one was totaled.

Yeah, I was too at first. I'm thinking there is some serious under carriage damage. The way the car is setting in some of those pictures just doesn't seem entirely correct.

It is hard to see but it shifted the entire front uni body to the right. It looks over enough to have the engine cradle out of wack also. The repair gets pricy if you have to pull the engine to repair the uni body that deep or replace it plus the bolt on parts. It may also have some cowl damage on the left side.

Thanks Jos BOSS.
We've been waiting to get confirmation on the VIN, though we're 90% sure which car it is.

stupid is as stupid does,
reminds me of Forest Gump,
Boss 302 or any other car for that matter,
in the hands of dumb and dumber -> results also in the same in the end....


PS: Im not bashing, our car is a handful to control, but come on: a damp morning, a cold morning under tire operating temperatures, new tires ie with the wax build up on them, a little to drink, kids in the car: W T F
you cannot tell me that guy was IN CONTROL.... sorry but I dont feel an ounce of pity.

Thanks to a Boss owner from Switzerland, I got to know over a set of discs, he has passed on some more info about the LS that was in a bad accident there. It involved three cars and a bicycle, there are more pics in the link below and I will spare everyone posting them here. The LS is pretty badly damaged not that it matters, just hope everyone survived.

Edit-After translating this it looks like the bicyclist was killed from being throw off the bridge after the Boss hit him. RIP

I hope the driver and if he had a passenger are okay. But I have shed a tear for the PW Boss, looks like a hard impact.

Smashed PW Bosses look to be popular.

If that was the only good part of the car I would hate to see the rest of it. Most of what is shown are pretty much regular GT parts anyway.

This Boss was a Ford Motor Company car. AAI ordered it as a TT build vehicle, built September 9, 2010. I'm sure Ford had this Boss scrapped out, and the front clip is all that's left of it.

 

[PTRocks]

To reduce scrappage and environmental impact, Ford will part out and sell the regular production parts off of prototype cars.

One more to add to the list: This is a Canadian car from the Ottawa area.

 

[VoodooBoss]

Ouch. Looks like he got snake bit from putting that GT500 plate on the front.

Just the same pictures in the video. but it has a description of what happened, maybe.

"Stolen from a dealership, found 45 miles away down an embankment off a country road. Car only had 150 miles on the odometer.

Ottawa, Canada"

So these cars can be stolen? How exactly is that possible without the key. Just curious because I thought nowadays hot wiring is not possible. Or maybe they stole the key too.
