I disagree, the slope of the windshield is definitely lower than a standard cab! :-)

Check the car's description. It's a cab.

Or am I missing a funny?

That. Plus the top (or what's left of it) is a regular convertible top. Speedster top is much more flimsy. Still a sad sight!

I was referring to the fact that the slope is inverted, funny fail.

It's a convertible, not a Speedster.

Accident must have hurt someone though.

How difficult is it to turn it into a speedster?

Wow - the oft rumored, almost never seen "fully reclining driver seat" option.

That cab got tossed every which way, hopefully nobody was behind the wheel. I would vote hurricane or flood with this one, unless someone did a ghost ride into a lake or bay. Seeing that the spare in the trunk is actually the left rear wheel (or the outer shell anyway) is pretty disturbing. Also, the engine fan/housing seems to have turned to dust unless it was removed at some point.
