FRS damaged during test drive :(

Saw this post on reddit, looks like this FR-S didn't even have a title before it got it's first damage.

Officer: "What were you thinking lady??"

Lady: "Uh, you see, my Ben & Jerry was melting and it was about to dirty up my pretty dress so I uh, lifted the cone up to lick off the dripping cone and the fool in that orange car slammed on the brakes. Really, not my fault officer."

Sad part is that it will be fixed and sold as new most likely.

No worries...the folks here in VA keep trying to tell me they have mountains here too. Originally from Colorado, so I keep telling them those are foothills and I still can't find the mountains behind them.

What the doobie is that thing that ran into it? A custom over sized go kart? I wonder if the brakes failed on it. It probably wasn't road legal either so the owner is gonna be screwed.
