    Clasic LeMans owner arrives at car show early and gets a prime spot. Next to him, a guy with a '40 Ford parks in the second stall:

    This woman arrives texting while driving through the parking lot. She jumped the curb and stayed on the throttle even after impact.

    Hits the Lemans so hard, she pushes it into the next spot and the '40 Ford 1/2 of a parking spot:

    I'm very sorry for the loss...I've shared this on this forum before...I'm a Nurse Manager at a Level I Trauma Center, I've seen the physical trauma results from the texting and driving and lost a lifelong friend last year from a texting driver.....

    Thank you for sharing.

    Her car really doesn't look like it sustained all that much damage... There are certain inertia requirements that determine when an airbag will go off. Apparently those were not met.
