Anybody watching ch5 news now? they have coverage of a blue 03ish WRX (STi?) going completely through a house.
This happened (today) at 630 am, when a 21 year old driver "fell asleep" (read:took the corner too fast) while coming home work on 252
A neigbhor woke up and looked out her window to see a huge hole in the house across the street and a car "trying to drive away"
The police say the car was actually airborne when it hit the house
The guy is getting charged with wreckless driving.
What makes this funnier is this happened before, and MNDot put up a huge cable with posts to prevent this from happening, and the wrx cut through it like butter - the house owner is now demanding a wall be built to deflect the flying cars(I think a properly tuned dsm could take out this "wall". anyone feeling up to the task? haha)
Im glad that nobody got hurt...yadayadayada but seriously, how fast would this guy have to be going to go through a barrier, liftoff and go through a house, eventually coming to a stop (the airbag was probably hard to see through+shattered windshield) and amazingly, his car was still in one piece, it still looked like a car! the bumper and windshield are kinda crunched, but it looked driveable
and, is there a black box in these newer cars that could tell the cops how fast he was actually going?
and speaking of new cars, has anyone seen the 06(?) WRX? gone are the re-fricken-tarded round headlights, and well.....you be the judge of the rest of the body and its two (2) wings......subaru.com
