Here we go again, another story of a teenager crashing a car because they can’t handle its power. This time the victim is a ‘69 Chevy Camaro that was crashed after a man’s 17 year old son decided to take the car for a joyride. Of course, he just had to pull a burnout on a street and upon hitting third gear found himself in a neighbor’s lawn.
The kid’s consequences include a wreckless driving ticket and his insurance company dropping him off the plan. Of course, I’m sure that doesn’t even compare to what his dad’s going to give him considering there were $30,000 worth of damages.

Holden Muscle 350
Auto enthusiast Jon Sibal produced renderings of the HGT to guess how a car might look if it was built by Hummer. His completed renderings represented an awesome-looking car, and he was soon contacted by Signal Auto from Bandung, Indonesia. They wanted to actually build the car.
The completed car debuted at the AutoBlackThrough show in Indonesia, with the new name- Holden Muscle 350. The aggressive looks of the car are backed by a powerful, supercharged 350CID Small Block V8. It looks like a pretty serious muscle car!
