If he did not hit anything, what in the crap are you NOT doing to the car to cause that to happen.
I saw that happen once to a car going uphill, to this day I do not know how they made it to the top of the hill.
Just a tranny self-identifying as failed Yugo engine.
That’s a bad month, not a bad day.
Thumb a ride to the nearest used car lot.
Fake, a bodgy photo. Although, anything is possible with Chebby junk.
Agreed. I’ve NEVER known a transmission to leave the engine compartment *relatively* unscathed. And where’s the blood (tranny fluid)? The pan should have been smashed, dented, and leaking. That tranny’s too clean, even if the bell housing DOES have a chunk taken out of it…
What’s a blast is to see what’s left of a standard “cellophane” transmission when some kid hopped up his engine and didn’t even think of what would happen when he revved it to 8000 RPM and then launched off the line. Ah, the Good Old Days of Street Racing!
When I first saw that I thought it a dead pig on a skateboard. Must be new glasses time.

I like to think it GM’s better idea…
“Slip ‘n Slide with PowerGlide!”
Obviosly a staged photo. That transmission was set there for the shot. No skid marks.
No giant puddles of transmission fluid either.
Dead giveaway.
Their transmissions suck any way.
Used to get the ol’ 55 Chebbie up to about 50 then drop it in reverse. Those cast iron Powerglides were hard to kill, but eventually you ended up with a box full of exploded parts! And a tow home, tranny fluid dripping all the way home.
I’m thinking if that were real there would be more pieces & parts, and definitely more tranny fluid in the picture.
Like a movie shooting with no bullet holes and not enough blood, not like the movie shooting in “Rust”.
yeah, fake. I burned up a lot of ford automatics, though.
