You all are not going to believe this. This is kind of a sad story...
My grandmother was visiting my grandfather's grave with some other
visiting family members. When they left the cemetary, she was driving
her '85 505 alone. She was very upset (ofcourse) and was on her way
to a gas station to fill up the car. Unfortunately, she was involved
in a serious frontal crash with a pickup truck shortly after leaving
the cemetary. The crash caused the pickup to spin about 5 times, and
the marks on the road indicate it was on 2 wheels for a moment. The
poor 505 was crushed in and it slid a little bit. My grandmother
emerged
thank god! At this point she was absolutely hysterical (for obvious
reasons). She loves that car--it has obvious sentimental value. I
asked her if she was okay and she replied "I have a broken heart".
What's really incredible is that the 505 was still idling--though it
was pouring coolant and trans fluid all over the road. It rolled just
fine, and they drove it off the road under its own power (until all
the ATF leaked out). The pickup was immobile and required a wrecker.
