"Unquestionably, the damage from the museum was much, much more severe than the crash"----what an absurd state of affairs!

Heart-breaking indeed. Thank you, coco1997, for linking it.

What the ****'s so funny about it, SB? Do tell.

This reminds me of the epic thread where one of the cars from one of the BB album covers (it was either the deuce coupe or the "Shut Down Vol. 2" corvette) was in some museum and someone posted pics, and someone reacted to the yellowing on the whitewalls as if it was a jaw-dropping epic tragedy, as if someone had left the Mona Lisa out in the rain or something.

Bummer for Breedlove (someone probably could have told him it was a bad idea to have a 50 year oral contract and apparently never check in on how the vehicle was doing all those years), and given the wonky handshake-ish style deal he made all those years ago, if he got a good settlement out of it he's probably lucky.

I'm assuming SB was just doing more of an ironic, head-shaking sort of laugh (there's not really a "tragically comedic" sort of emoji maybe) at the awful irony of the statement that the museum did more damage than the crash.

Yeah I put that emoticon to laugh at irony of the situation and I thought that's what you pointing at as well.

Gotcha, as they say. I take back my remark! ;D
