MRAP field tested, US Marine approved. 500 lb bomb exploded under it, lifted and flipped around, and no one died

The drivers ribs were broken when the steering wheel pounded into them, damn good thing steering wheels are designed to bend instead of busting up torsos

Thanks to Mike for the email about this!

this guy was in a huge hurry to get the Collision Center, such a hurry he decided make his own freeway exit

San Diego really is this good looking, and our airport is this freaking close to downtown. That is the bay in the background, and Coronado island behind it. The cop car is on interstate 5

Ever look at a wreck photo and wonder if the driver had just yelled "Hey Y'all, Watch this!" ?

1933, 5:54pm, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Long Beach. Imagine what the result of that catastrophe would be today in LA rush hour?

A Trolley hit this car, makes me wonder how often that happened

the type of Trolley I'm referring to is the electric streetcar before they were all disposed of in favor of gross polluting GM busses http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/07/wouldnt-city-transportation-be-more.html no joke, the lobbyists for GM (biggest corporation in the world at that time) convinced the national senators and congressmen that the electric streetcars were worse than diesel busses that tear up the asphalt at intersections because of their weight, and pollute the air

Holiday warning about driving

Thought it would be better to get this out before the Holidays...

Please, take care of yourself. A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.

This means that the remaining 77% are caused by assholes who drink bottled water, Starbucks, soda, juice, energy drinks and shit like that. Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents.

This message is sent to you by my buddy Mike who is a drinker and worries about your safety.

Happy Holidays!

Hear that screaming? Hear the cry of outrage? Yup, they just looked at this GT500 Shelby Mustang Cobra on a junkyard heap of junk cars. The point is

that this should get us fired up, like when Car Craft once had a photo of a Camaro that was being eaten by the jungle slowly... and the submission was accompanied by the phrase "we lost one, but let it be remembered by saving others" (Adam Rosenbaum, Portland Maine)

Everybody looks at train wrecks, only some train wrecks make us wonder how they happened!

Wonder how these two happened!

the most famous was the French train that plowed out of the 2nd story of a building to the street below http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/one-of-most-impressive-photos-ive-seen.html

I hope the car was parked and empty when it was stepped on by this big truck

I just stumbled across a bad news photo... the Mastersons Kustoms "Genuine imported Brazilian female orangutan underam hair carpet" is wrecked

Above photo I took at this springs Beatnik Blowout

the news and photo are terrible, my consolations to the owner, and hopes that no one was hurt. Smashed photo from http://400bc.blogspot.com/2010/10/please.html who asks that we be careful out there

Update: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUn9cyYlcvw&feature=player_embedded the video owner disabled our ability to post the video here, but it's extensively filmed the wrecked custom.
The driver lost control and smashed into the back of a big rig in North Long Beach. The car was going northbound on Paramount Blvd at a high rate of speed at the time of the accident. A car show trophy was seen on seen of the crash. Long Beach PD is investigating accident as a psssible DUI. The passenger had to be cut of the car. Both the passenger and the driver were transported to local hospitals. The classic car was a total loss.

This ruined someone's day.

I wish the story of what the car was doing on a transporter was with the photo, and what caused it to go over the front end, but the world may never get closure on this mystery. Damn shame it happens and wrecks a cool car and a group of people's day. The owner, the driver, the insurance guy, and the potential new owner if there was one.

when your rear wheel parts company with your race car and passes you in the turn, it must be Monday

Photo from http://5window.tumblr.com/ I think, it might have been http://motomania.tumblr.com/ ... I can't recall.

Funniest photo I've seen all day. While I'm on the topic; overheard at the car show today " this girl asked if she could get in my Minerva, so I said "Sure go ahead".. and waited til she was halfway in, and then said "I'm sure the owner won't mind . . . " and she freaked out.

Not going to end well for this Testarossa
