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

Poor Hot Lava :(

Damn taken out at a stop light on a test drive? That sucks!

well to be fair, the guy had no business driving on a go kart track.

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."

ouch, maybe buyer can get a discount?

Look around....... Sees mountains

phew not Florida

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

Definitely CA. Some people have the worst luck with the FR-S! :bs:

Mountains? Where? I see hills lol.

And the color I've been dreaming of...sigh.

Oh sorry Floridian here. Anything past 10ft and made up of rock/dirt/soil is a mountain to me

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. :lol:

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.

VW Manx. You never seen one before?!

WOOOOOW look at those gas prices! Glad i live in NJ! 3.93 for 83, i dont even pay that much for 93

That looks like California to me...Fail!

Looks like Shaggy rear ended it.

Every time I look at the picture, the guys hair stand out because its got a nice sheen to it

zzz Wow.
Looks like LA

so many accidents with the FR-S the car is too much of a head turner, creating accidents lol

I swear that was my first thought too LOL

$3.93 a gallon for unleaded regular, has to be California. $$$$$

Good to know I wasn't the only one who noticed the gas prices. That's the real tragedy here.

I wish I paid $3.93.

Just looking at the frs, the sales guy still has a giant sticker on the window...how can he see properly out of the car with that on??

Still not going to help the lady driving up the back of him......

How do you know who was driving? That woman might be just an onlooker? I was looking at the seat position in that manx buggy, looks to be mounted at a funky angle.

:happy0180:

Good point my mistake......... Maybe the cop was driving and wanted a bite of her ice cream she is holding.

lol yea I was thinking why would she be eating an ice cream cone if she just rear ended someone. O_o

That salesmen looks sleezy...

Yeah looks like ca. Making me nervous since I live in San diego lol

That's the problem with California, those crappy old cars last forever - and remain road hazards. In New England, the salt and snow has a way of "retiring" older vehicles - especially VW's.

Haha, funny you say that... I was thinking when the heck was the last time I saw one of those old Mitsu / Dodge Colts in the background??? Must have been the late 80's.

Only in California would anyone still be driving a Plymouth Colt.

Power of the internet (google)


This accident occurred in front of:

Mobil
10570 Riverside Drive
North Hollywood, CA 91602

(818) 761-5836

They were going westbound on Riverside Dr.

PS. It's bloody creepy what you can find with a few pieces of information from a picture.

They sure don't build cars like they used to that fo sho. Look at the tractor, not a sign it's been in an accident. Look at the FRS...looks like a truck rear ended it. LOL.

Seconds after this picture was taken:

Officer: "Put down the cone, and put your hands up where I can see them!"

Lady: Wolfs down the cone in the attempt to hide the evidence.

Officer: Tackles Lady

Lady: Struggles

Officer: Tazers Lady through the pretty dress

Salesman: Spins his head whipping his pretty shiny hair in the air and witnesses everything

Ouch :(

Not to be picky (OK, I am being, but I'm a huge HB cartoon nerd), the driver is Tinker, not Shaggy. Shaggy was a whole different character!

Here's a shot where they are in the same place at the same time.

haha my version:

the woman is just trying to walk across the street. Driver of the buggy is in the back seat of the police car. :)

Officer: "Ma'am, you can't cross here. In fact, back away please. What we have here is a collision between an old 70's vehicle and some kind of advanced prototype from the future. I'm not sure but an explosion might be imminent."

and wtf is that on the ground by the FR-S? Is it a whiteboard?!

Bad drivers are everywhere, its bound to happen sooner or later, CA might have the most accidents right now, but there will be others in other states...to OP hope ur able to get a discount...;)
