It was a co-op collision.
A man driving a Modo car-share sports car said he "just lost control" and drove into the front of the Mountain Equipment Co-op on West Broadway just after 2 a.m. PT.
There were no injuries, and only minor damage to the sturdy store front.
"I don't think that's what they meant when they said to bring the car back to the co-op," said onlooker Denis Grenier.

Yeah, let's have a tail happy rwd sports car for car share users who will undoubtedly try to drive it in a reckless manner in a city where it rains half the year

How is that even "news"?

Welcome to Canada, Eh.

Rain + RWD + throttle =

Sure, you just "lost control."

Well, I reckon it was a slow night up in BC.

Now, the follow up story:

Last night, a FR-S (BRZ) was crash tested into a block wall. Note that the design of the crumple zones worked perfectly. The driver was uninjured ....... but the car was totaled.

Watch the Canadian version of cops (To Serve and Protect) if you are every really bored and can find it. On the BC one they did a whole 15 minute segment on chasing two guys because the one dude threw a chip bag on some railway tracks.

I hate when people say speed might be a cause of the accident.

I be like, damn right it won't crash if it ain't moving.

I feel like every day, your profile picture zooms more and more on the face. Soon I'll just be focused on the 2 eyes, the nose, and the upper mouth.

All I learned from this is that if you want a car that can withstand an accident, drive a MEC.

The comments on the article want to make me slam my head into a wall:

And this one is sort of close to what the driver was probably doing:

A "clarksonism" fit in here:

I saw one in my university's parking lot the other day.

I was amazed that Modo thought lending out a sports car that's RWD that most people wouldn't even realize that the car is or what it means to university students is a good idea.

I'm also amazed at how he even managed to crash into a store like that in a very urban area where there's a lot of traffic and stop lights. Like, how awful do you have to be at driving.
