FR-S goes to heaven
 

Someone I know saw this in Bakersfield,CA at an auto dismantler, is this anyone here?

damn! hope the driver is ok

If it were, do you think they'd tell? If the crash didn't kill 'em, the embarrassment sure will...

What if they got hit by a drunk driver?

This, it looks like a dead on frontal impact, which is actually rare. You can see the shockwave ripple in the rear quarter-panel. Looks like the scraping on that panel is a result of the tow/recovery/pickup effort. Could be a crash test vehicle, or possibly crashed on transport.

The fact that there's a dealer advertisement plate on the back, and not a proper dealer plate or no tag at all, makes me think this car was just purchased by somebody. For damage of this kind, I'd also suspect someone else was at fault, cause this goes way above and beyond the "Oh noes, I don't know how to drives the RWD after all!" amateur drifter damage we expect to see on these cars. :(

Could that be the one in the iihs vid? Same color

Not unless the dealer bought it for parts to scrap, the iihs test facility is is in Ruckersville, VA.

need to change the title of this thread!

would an airbag deploy if the car engine wasn't running?

Is that hot lava? Say it isn't so!

Wasn't there a thread the other day about a test drive gone bad? Could this be the same one?

Anyone else can correct me if i'm wrong but IIRC the high speed networking used for Airbags is kept on at all times and if the battery is dead, a capacitor keeps it alive for a few minutes or so.

There's also damage to the back right. Maybe they were sandwiched between 2 vehicles?

I called the dismantler, they mentioned the driver span out hit a tree then a telephone, probably drifting or evasive manuever since its dry in bakersfield right now.

Body all banged up, interior tore up = seats no good, dash airbags went out

Engine is priced about 2.5k

:word:

Suggestions?

I thought it implied that the car died?

What does it imply to you??

LOL. It suggests that someone thinks an automobile is a living thing in addition to being a religious nut. :bonk:

Fok!!!!

"too soon junior"

Nice.

It even has dealer tags. Someone's insurance company is probably a little pissed.....

To some they are, and for me yes

MOD's can you change it ANOTHER FRS DEADED'ED

if anyone wants to see which parts they are gonna try to sell

look up higgins auto parts in bakersfield, ca

Holy sh!t. I hope the occupant(s) walked away.

insurance just went up...again! Damn I don't think I have ever seen a new car get trashed so much and so soon! People its 200hp and RWD! LOL RWD is not that hard to drive!

I agree. I wonder how many 2011+ v6 Mustangs get crashed? They have 300hp, rwd, and are probably less forgiving when you oversteer.

Maybe the inexperienced take the hype that pumps up the FR-S's handling a bit too literally, particularly when they say, "it can take any corner at 90mph." lol

It would have stickers everywhere. Plus those cars are crushed if I'm not mistaken.

How many v6 mustangs get trashed? a lot, trust me, a lot.

Very soon junior indeed! You guys need to stop being Ken Gushi-Gushi wannabes! :burnrubber:

mustangs are rental cars most of them lol so they get trashed alot! But the FRS is so high to insure now its sick

Just called them. They said they didn't have a '13 Scion FR-S yet. Are you sure about your info?

First one that we know of that has died in our part or the world - on demo drive with dealer

Dibs on the... uh, yeah. Never mind.

Yea man, try this and press 2, tell them you called at 8am on the 19th http://www.bing.com/local/details.as...king&FORM=LARE

Damn ritards...

Looking at the one in the vid/iihs pictures, i doubt its the same one. No white on the front tires of the car in question, plus the back window being blown out would suggest the car rolled. Can't tell more than that from the picture.

Also, scroll to the bottom of that article and check out the crash videos. Scary, but my peace of mind is intact.

Ouch, that's pretty serious! Good thing they got such good safety ratings! Hope the driver is OK and not planning on f**king around with the next one, if he was indeed f**king around.

I don't think it rolled, you can see where it hit the pole just behind driver's door and that would have deformed the cabin and blown out the window.

all the windows are shattered. hmm suspicious.
