Our favorite racer / actor pulled the kid from the wreckage.
This is Mr. Dempsey's Panoz built Mustang:
It was not flipped.
He's also been known to drive another Mustang, but I don't believe he's flipped it either:
This is the Mustang the kid flipped in front of the man who isn't a doctor but plays one on TV:
In other actor automotive news, Joshua Jackson's Ghia broke down and he had to push it:
Maybe somebody needs to send him a sample issue of Classic Motorsports?
I don't know who Joshua Jackson is, but he has E36 M3ty taste in cars with the money an actor has. If it had to be a aircooled VW it would have to be a 23 window bus. With a ragtop and safari windows, of course.

I would vastly prefer a second gen Ghia cabriolet or even a Type 181 to a bus. Why do people like those things? (busses, not things...)

He may be a great guy, but I'm holding out for NPH.

Will 964 bits work in a Ghia?

Seriously? I think with the money he has, I give him kudos for owning ANY air cooled VW.

Dempsey seems like a cool guy outside of acting and racing. He had a rough life as a teen actor and he came out ok in my book.
It's cool that he sprung into action instead of just calling 911. I'm also glad that the family is grateful and not a bunch of sue-happy shiny happy person that want money for him pulling their son out of his car.

It wasn't on purpose. He doesn't know his own strength.
So far he seems to be following in the foot steps of Paul Newman, as a racer and a person. Not a bad start. Oh, and the Mustang just makes him all the cooler in my book!

Doogie?!? pshhh...puh-leez
its all about some Ryan Reynolds...If I had to be gay, I would be gay with him
...good thing I like chicks
Since I have no plans to 'turn over a new leaf' (not that there's anything wrong with that! )I don't fantasize about who to make whoopie with in that extremely unlikely event.

No berkeleying way.

A Ghia ragtop is a chick car. It is so 'chick' that if it's driven by a guy it should be called the Gay-ah. It makes the Miata look absolutely studly. So maybe this Jackson guy is who the closet cases on the board should lust over.
