Oh the carnage. Reply #15 – February 17, 2007, 06:26:44 PM While on the subject of RCMP vehicles, working in a shop that builds them (and also strips the old ones), I get to see all the RCMP's "Greatest hits" as it were.Pic 1 and 2 are the results of a parked CVPI being rear-ended by a 14-passenger van travelling at 75MPH. The cruiser was stopped at an accident scene (single vehicle, car in the ditch) and the van driver was drawn to his flashing lights like a moth. Note how the body of the car is literally peeled off the (still relatively straight) frame, and how small the "prisoner" area is. The officer suffered minor injuries. The driver of the car that was in the ditch ended up with two broken legs, though - he was pinned between the cruiser and his own car.Pic 3 is a brand new, less than 1500 mile CVPI after a rookie botched a high-speed U-turn while trying to turn around to catch a speeder and ended up in the ditch. Every single panel on the car was twisted. Quote Selected

dead hyundai Reply #18 – February 18, 2007, 03:02:11 PM back in late 06 when i first came up here to nc from ga i was driving a 2000 elantra. this dumbass in a white ford focus was infront of me and a truck was turning into a parkinglot. they got over in the left to take off past them, then dove back in my lane and locked the wheels up. i had no where to go in a matter of seconds. not even my good reflexes could do anything with it. my hyundai was totaled, the focus had a bent bumper support and exhaust. 800 dollars later he has an aftermarket exhaust and a new body kit. i never got a ticket for it tho. and it was worse than it looks.. the hyundai always dives below the impact point on most vehicles, so the hood and core support takes the brunt. the airbag didnt help me at all cept blow my hand off the wheel into the dash. plus the bumper cover flexed so much it doesnt even look too hurt. both headlights were pushed out, car was gone. good engine and transmission tho, even better transaxel.

Oh the carnage. Reply #23 – February 21, 2007, 07:21:44 PM wasn't in it, but i saw it before they started to remove the car from the trees. It was horrid to look it, the trees where where the drivers seat should have been, the entire trans axle and motor were sitting away from the car. The woman driving was dead, like i figured. What a horrid way to die. Quote Selected
