    Can't see the pics cause I'm at work... it's good that no one was hurt... my mate was in an accident last month, going 50k is a 60k zone cause it was wet, the car aquaplaned.. hit a pole and his work mate was killed... definitely wouldn't be driving a car that should be classified a write-off.... dangerous

    agree... maybe doing 100kph when he lost control, but impact speed is more 30kph id say

    edit: probably less considering the doors still open

    A Toyota Aurion. That's only some of the damage...Wreckers got the doors open, I got out through a back door. Steering column came up and out and jammed me into the seat, and the 308 under the hood was just everywhere...Lost a wheel, spun out, and the rear of the car slammed into a freeway barrier. The product of a f**kwit doing a u-turn on the freeway...This is what the car looked like beforehand...Pity I didn't get pics of the rear post-accident...There wasn't much left of it...Front would have been worse if i wasn't swerving at the time, or it would have been a T-bone. I consider myself lucky!

    You drive along, feel the steering get a little weird, the car drops on one corner, and then the missing wheel rolls on past.

    Usually the result of a failing part, or some tyre-dumbass not tightening the wheel nuts/studs correctly.

    Another good one is people with locknuts. Someone comes along, tries to steal your wheels, hits issue with locknut, so they just leave the other 4 nuts off and you're driving around unknowingly on ONE wheel nut. Doesn't take much for it to go bye bye
    I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!
