FRS series 1.0 crashes into home knocking out power and causing a fire
 

Just thought I'd share this post about a series 1.0 that crashed into a SF home causing a fire and knocking out power. Is this a member on our forum?

That's one way to park in a garage.

Glad to see no one got hurt but sad to see a series 1.0 crash :(

Well they made their instagram account private right quick https://www.instagram.com/baggedjeffrs/

Unfortunately yes it's one of us :thumbdown: lol

RIP insurance rates and innocent FRS.

glad nobody was seriously injured at least and a good reminder to take it easy while street driving and go elsewhere for spirited driving..

Not sure if it would've been better on a canyon road. Would've ended with flying off a cliff or wrapping around a tree instead of into a house :lol:

I didn't reeeally want to elaborate :laughabove:, so thanks for doing it for me :P Although I sorta meant more like track/autox. But canyon roads work too.

Every senseless crash will eventually increase other FR-S owners' rates :mad0260:

People seriously need to stop crashing their damn cars...

He's works for a body shop as well, how ironic lol. He'll be coming to a home near you soon.

This happened right near where I live, and at the end of the closest thing to a "canyon road" there is in San Francisco. Makes sense.

Probably 17 or 18 years of age.

Pullin out them mad skills fo sho.

* I really hate local news. Guys! A car crashed! Wow. Breaking!

I worked for a newspaper once. The editors creamed their pants for house fires and dead kids.

I have no sympathy for those who endanger other peoples' lives.

I hope this guy gets a driving suspension at the very least.

Damnit Jeff.

Can someone link me to the partout thread?

If Toyobaru make a turbo version with 300hp, the driver would've counter steered and power drift safely back into the road!

I personally just want to get some hard parking tips from him.

Yeah I know the area too. Honestly no idea how the fuck he crashed into there. It's not like it's a blind turn or anything. It's pretty fucking straight at that part and there's tons of visibility where you're going. Probably had nannies off and clearly drove past his limit.

Not trying to defend him in any way but I feel like ya bashing on him without hearing his side of the story. Could have been any reason why he smashed into that house and not just speeding and messing up.

He posted a comment earlier on FB but removed it. Said he was "doing one last run", "understeered", "hit the curb but the brakes stopped working after", then hit the building. RIP '76 MG Roadster

"His side of the story" isn't always the full truth either...

True, but speeding is still speeding too. Gotta take the consequences if you do that, especially on a regular residential street.

I don't got him on FB nor even seen that comment but I retract what I said.

What I meant to say was that what if he wasn't speeding and someone just pulled out in front of him, forcing him to either hit the car or try to maneuver around which ended with him into a house. There can be other reasons why accidents happen. But since it's confirmed he was speeding/runs, I'll take my statement back

I think Neal deleted both posts on the FB group page, actually.

Running into a building at 12am midnight says it all..

Yeah everybody has their pitchforks out ready to criticize and the rest are swooping in for part outs lol

Lol it's too bad. It's already out there so :iono:; same comments will be on here anyway haha

I only saw the post about whether or not the person was on fb group thats about it.

I guess you haven't had someone run a stop sign while you had the right away while driving at night? Happened a couple times to me in SF where I had to swerve but not hard enough to get onto the curbs.

Actually, it's way easier to see at night for me at intersections because you can see headlights.. Unless you're not paying attention yourself. I always assume the other drivers will not stop.

Even if you try to avoid a collision by swerving, it'll take some speed to do that kind of damage. Max speed in most residential area is 30mph and this car can stop on a dime..

Yeah, to go that much into a building would take a considerable rate of speed.

I saw his comment on fb about understeering....

Glad nobody got severely hurt.

It is pretty crazy when you know the person who was involved. Normally I just overlook these things. That's gotta be a crazy hit for his insurance though.

It's also going to raise premiums for FRS owners in the area probably, too.

The only thing to take from this is hope the kid learned a lesson, and others can learn from it as well.




Just glad nobody was injured and hope the home owners get their life back in order quickly.
