This is incredible! This was just sent to me by my friend Andy. He just received the below in an email from one of his friends (the owner and driver of the above car)
An allegedy drunk driver passed out at the wheel of the car. As the car continued to careen out of control, it went head on into a pack of cyclists in a bike race in Monterey, Mexico. One of the riders was killed, others were likely injured. Police responded in-time to stop the attempted lynching on the driver. Be careful out there guys. Damn shame.

Oops. Fail. Payam Sabo drove out on the beach (illegally) to watch the sunrise in his 2008 Cadillac Escalade (great gas mileage). As the tide began to come in, he quickly realized he was stuck in the sand. Like a good captain, he stayed with his vessel. Well, until the police ordered him out. To add further insult to injury, the vehicle was impounded, and Sabo was given a citation.

So I posted this initially, just some pictures with little detail beyond the fact that speeding and Integra and a tree don’t mix all that well. Well here is a bit of an update. A young couple was traveling at ohhhh, 140mph. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY miles per hour. On a public road. At that speed, the rear tire blew out. The girl lost control of the ITR and veered off the road and INTO A FREAKING TREE at ONE HUNDRED miles per hour.
They shouldn’t be alive. But they are. Which is good, because they have a young daughter, who thankfully wasn’t in the car. Here’s the other part of the story…they didn’t have insurance. SERIOUSLY, WTF!? FYI, don’t buy Tenzo R seats or pimp your car out if you aren’t going to pay insurance.
I feel bad for them. Yeah it sucks, they are both in the hospital recovering. But if they had blown a tire at 140mph and nailed a family in a van, I am sure I would be a lot less compassionate.
Please don’t drive like a dumb ass. K, thanks.

Some local (Minneapolis) hooligans were out cruising in their GS-R when they lost control of the vehicle at a high rate of speed. The car then went Axe Men on a tree and splintered the car in half. Remarkably, the occupants are somehow still alive. I would think high rates of speed + Tenzo R seats would /= survival. But somehow, in this instance they ended up all right. For the love of everything good and holy, be careful out there.
Our fellow site member, b-dash, is big into the outdoor sports. Lucky for us, he is also into cars. This was spotted on Mountainbuzz.com, an outdoor activity forum. Apparently, some buddies were hoping to go kayaking. They parked the car across the street, left it running with the e-brake engaged, to go check out if the spot was good enough to deploy the kayaks. Unfortunately, the car was rather interested, it crossed two lanes and then plunged into the Payette River.
From there it took a spin down the rapids. Remarkably, the car was still running when the tow truck pulled it from the river. Check out the thumbs below or view a video from the local news station here.
Some time back, we brought to everyone’s attention how a pitbull on steroids can destroy a Honda. Today, it’s time to explore the destructive abilities of a dog left inside. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, because really I am at a loss after viewing this. I must warn you, what you are about to see is not for the squeamish. If you are feeling brave, view the full gallery.

You have probably already seen these images, but guess what, I am just further contributing to the viral nature of the internetz. So ol’ dude is tooling along crossing a bridge. Then somehow he ended up like this, hanging his Dodge from the frame, 70 feet above a river. General assumption would leave one to believe that you should adhere to those “bridge slippery” signs.
But it is more fun to just fill in the blanks and guess at what happened. So hit the comments and let’s see how we want to write the story.
Also, check out more pictures after the jump
