This is beautiful, this is what this sub is all about.

A friend of mine was in a car accident about two weeks ago. He and some friends were on a dirt road, came round a blind bend a bit too fast. The driver hit the brakes, but the ABS failed, the wheels locked up, and they skidded off the road 100 meters down a very steep embankment. He estimates that the car rolled about 25 times. I saw the photos, and the thing was completely munted. The worst thing that happened was that everyone was a quite bruised and sore, two people lost their shoes and one person lost their phone. Nobody died, and they were all able to walk away from the accident. The car was a 2018 plate Mondeo wagon. If they had been in my friends car, a 1997 Impreza, he reckons they would all be dead. He's getting a new car this weekend with a better safety record. Old cars a fucking dangerous.

Edit: he's also a rally driver, and does HPV Superseries, so it's not like he's unused to danger and fast things.

To put it in much simpler terms:

If the car doesn't crumple, YOU WILL.

Finally a good murder instead of one of those Twitter comments
