Good thing it has an alarm…

Epic Bike Wreck

Jen Dunnaway — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:54:40 +0000

In case you’re one of those people who always complains, “well that’s x minutes of my life I’m never going to get back,” I’m going to warn you: a hellacious wreck, and then a whole lot of nothing, happens in this video. But you kind of have to admire the guy for staying with the remains of his bike despite all the chaos around him.

Wrecks From The 2010 Saudi Drift Season

Michael Berenis — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 09:12:00 +0000

Saudi drift generally involves fishtailing a car violently back and forth at a high rate of speed, almost invariably on public roads. Those who that pull it off typically end with a 360 or 720 spin into the winners’ circle. Those who fail typically end up combining themselves with their low-budget sedans.

Hyundai Parking In-Fusion

Matt Wellumson — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 10:22:17 +0000

These shots were taken by a co-worker during what would normally be a quiet Saturday at the office. The story behind it was, the young driver was involved in a heated text conversation, while parking her car in the open space in the foreground. What doesn’t make sense, is the fact that her car drove over the curb, through a fence, and onto someone’s new Ford Fusion. Thankfully nobody was hurt, and hopefully she puts down her phone next time she parks!

More photos after the jump!

Rally Cars vs. Telephone Pole

Kind of painful to watch…

Loose Pants and a Rough Landing

Brian Lohnes — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 20:36:54 +0000

We once wrecked a BMX bike off a jump hard during our childhood. That pretty much cured us off the jumping bug. Obviously this dude didn’t shake the need to experience flight on a two wheeled vehicle. The good news is that he nailed the flying part. The bad news is that he really sucks at landing.

Also note that if you are going to attempt a high-flying stunt, wear a belt.

Lotus 2-Eleven Crashes At Nürburgring

Michael Berenis — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 09:50:37 +0000

The 2-Eleven is a great handling car, but even the best out there have their limits. Pushing the lateral limit of this Lotus, the driver over corrected himself right into the wall. Like popping popcorn, bits of yellow is sent flying in all directions upon impact! Read more about the wreck at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Hot Rod Pile Up

Brian Lohnes — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:42:00 +0000

Hot rods that get driven occasionally get crashed. This is a sad but unavoidable fact. We’ve all seen a guy who got a little nuts with his car on the street and hit a tree or pole. One thing we’ve never seen is a legit chain reaction rear-end collision like the one in this video.

We feel awful for these guys, all four of them! The dude that came in on the end of this thing had to be trucking to cause all of the cars to smash into one another. Here’s hoping they all have good insurance!

We think that the driver’s estimate of the damage is a little steep.

Do Not Ask Someone Else to Hold Your Steering Wheel

Jen Dunnaway — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 09:47:09 +0000

It drives me crazy when people do this. How could you even think to ask a random passenger to “drive” for you from the right-side seat while you take your hands off the wheel to futz around? This hideous wreck occurred when a driver, allegedly high in a Chevy Blazer carrying drugs of just about every denomination, got the passenger to hold the wheel while flying down a two-lane highway in Washington state last week. The passenger promptly put the Blazer over the centerline and into the grille of an oncoming Outback carrying a Canadian couple returning from vacation. Bodycount included the Blazer’s two rear-seat passengers, and the man driving the Subaru, who was killed on impact. The survivors were the two idiots from the front seat of the Blazer and the Subaru driver’s widow, 7 months pregnant. I’ll ask again: how freakin’ difficult is it to stay on your own side of the road? Full story via KOMO News, and video here.
