The Automotive Enthusiast · 03-24-2014, 08:26 PM

So THAT'S what they mean when they say it handles like it's on rails....

CurbBender'90 · 03-24-2014, 08:26 PM

Can we get some parts from it and a interview? Should have gotten a M

Lulloa · 03-24-2014, 08:40 PM

That'll buff out.

I.m thinking the car spun. No DSC?

Wow!!! I am speechless..........

F80NJM3 · 03-24-2014, 09:28 PM

Wow---How?? That looks nearly impossible to happen.

misterbeemer · 03-24-2014, 09:31 PM

More evidence this car has a split personality.

IB M · 03-24-2014, 09:31 PM

Car was definitely impaled from rear. Rail is still connected to ground behind where car came to rest. Gotta watch that performance rubber in the wet. It's a great day when u walk away from that major of a wreck.

Exactly. At least in the US they are designed to deflect and if head on force is in play they are supposed to buckle. This is just amazing. I looked at the photos 100 times and still shocked he walked!
