- TheRealTopherG, on 03/14/2008, -2/+2Palm Tree = 1, Supra = 0
- goldni0020, on 03/14/2008, -21/+8That's the Reason Supras are going extinct. Such a SICK car
- neutrascrub, on 03/14/2008, -0/+8***** was SO crash
- trav12221, on 03/14/2008, -1/+2People with Supras have to drive like maniacs?
- ComputerGeekMat, on 03/14/2008, -1/+9Nope, but ever since Fast and the Furious came out, it seems like they do.
- Kornstalx, on 03/14/2008, -5/+6Don't know why people are digging you down. You are correct, the Supra is an amazing vehicle which is no longer in production. I cry a little every time I see one destroyed like that...
I had a fetish for those things all through the late 80s/90s.
- cpiazza, on 03/14/2008, -13/+2ouch!
- wjtb64, on 03/14/2008, -14/+9Lucky buggers to be alive - especially when the airbags did not go off! Why?
- Liquidfire3240, on 03/14/2008, -3/+16Rear impact(car spun around and hit the tree backwards), the airbags wouldn't of done anything even if they did go off.
- pell, on 03/14/2008, -1/+7Probably replaced the steering wheel with a racing wheel.
- centran, on 03/14/2008, -1/+1It was rear impact so that is why but I agree with you about the steering wheel. I would not doubt the steering wheel was replaced.
It may seem like wtf? why would you do that?
Trust me, if you are crazy about cars and modding or had/have a friend who is that way you would completely agree.

- Member148, on 03/14/2008, -3/+98They need to make cars like trees. The tree was barely scathed. Tree one, car zero.
- MookiBlaylock, on 03/14/2008, -1/+26I know, the tree was like 'eh'. Try again buddy.
- shootsfired, on 03/14/2008, -0/+7that's one tough palm tree
- aladrin, on 03/14/2008, -1/+49The problem is the top speed and acceleration of a tree are both 0.
- dontera, on 03/14/2008, -1/+5Nice try sir, you Almost made me spit my coffee
- chimpski, on 03/14/2008, -0/+16They used to make cars like that but it turns out you brake every bone in your body and die a million times if you got in a wreck.
- twinklyJesus, on 03/14/2008, -4/+10Not if you hit the breaks.
- BearinG, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1But cars that weighted twice as much as now also took twice as much distance to break.. (not really twice as much.. but way more)
- twinklyJesus, on 03/14/2008, -4/+10Not if you hit the breaks.
- TheCount, on 03/14/2008, -0/+7The tree says, "You almost had me? You never had yourself!"
- Zippo, on 03/14/2008, -0/+7Cars are designed to crumple like this on purpose. It's important that cars crumple upon impact as it absorbs a LOT of the kinetic force in a crash. If a car were to remain rock-solid and undamaged upon a powerful impact, you'd probably be snapped in two.
An added bonus is that the car companies get to sell you replacement parts and mechanics get to fix your car. It's beneficial for your safety, as well as their wallets... just not your wallet.

Unless you meant the accident flipped him off, yelled "You don't understand what it's like to be my age!", then stormed to its room and slammed the door. - RoroCo, on 03/14/2008, -4/+12Yeah... like we didn't do crazy ***** like this with our 1982 primer gray Honda Accords that we bought for $2,000 when we were 16. This does not mean the kid is spoiled, it just means he was careless in acting like a kid.

- kyleokeefe, on 03/14/2008, -1/+16it's acctually K.E. = (1/2)mv^2
- pjkli, on 03/14/2008, -5/+1ACTUALLY, it's F=m*a Where F = force, m = mass , and a = acceleration
- itsthebrod, on 03/14/2008, -0/+3Actually no... Force and energy are not the same thing.
- pjkli, on 03/14/2008, -2/+1Energy means nothing without some kind of outlet. Thus we use force to quantify the energy acted on a body.
Second law
Observed from an inertial reference frame, the net force on a particle is proportional to the time rate of change of its linear momentum: F = d[mv] / dt. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. When the mass is constant, this law is often stated as F = ma (the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtons_first_law - NonLeftistDiggr, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Energy certainly means something, if you calculate the correct answer to the correct energy equation (aka don't use the one I posted), you may not be able to draw quantitative conclusions, but you know the wreck is going to bad regardless.

- NonLeftistDiggr, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Fail? What the hell is wrong with all of you, are you all Bachelor of Arts programmers, or mini-van driving soccer moms? Energy increases with the square of velocity, which is why high automobile accidents get devestatingly worse with increase speed.

- sirdandan, on 03/14/2008, -15/+13Man, just look at that thing. What an awful colour for a car!
- Sraza, on 03/14/2008, -3/+2Looks like I'll probably gets some negs for this but I have to agree. Piss yellow cars always look horrible. If I see a classic or expensive car in yellow I think there is a douche behind the wheel crying for attention.
- abird, on 03/14/2008, -1/+8Or maybe just someone that likes yellow. It is possible to like yellow without being a douchebag, isn't it?
- usingpond, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Or "Taxi". In New York, we laugh at people with yellow cars, and pretend to be calling a cab.
- g111y, on 03/14/2008, -0/+2yeah, not very classy is it? i like yellow but with a certain price tag you've got to go with cream :)

- mcse2k3, on 03/14/2008, -13/+4I hit two telephone poles one time going 70+ in a mustang, no seat belt on and my airbags didn't deploy. Scared the ***** out of me and my card didn't look anything like that. #1 I don't see how he, let alone BOTH of them survived. #2 I don't see how there isn't piles of ***** on both their seats.

- IphtashuFitz, on 03/14/2008, -2/+37For somebody like Nick, raised as a privileged child of wealthy celebrities, he's probably able to justify it somehow so that he doesn't feel bad about it.
- PitbullRaven, on 03/14/2008, -1/+21Unfortunately some assholes don't even give a *****. I know this one guy that crashed a car while drunk, killing 3 of his friends that were idiotic to the point of getting into the car with him in the first place. He walked away and about 3 weeks after was literally racing another guy in a wheelchair. 6 weeks after that, saw him again at a disco having a great time, but still in the wheelchair. Saw him a couple of weeks back and asked him that same question: how do you live with yourself? He answered (and smiled) "Well I didn't die. Why shouldn't I live my life and continue to have fun?"
I swear I felt like killing him myself.- g111y, on 03/14/2008, -0/+4that's a horrible story. i can only hope that people like that are suffering inside (or later on) more than we'll ever know.

- Scrappy1850, on 03/14/2008, -2/+5brother
- nascarnate326, on 03/14/2008, -1/+10You have to remember, these pics were taken after the cops/firefighters cut the hell out of the car to get the idiots out. I hope he, and the rest of this retarded nation learn from this.
- IphtashuFitz, on 03/14/2008, -0/+5True, but the first few photos where the car is still sitting next to the tree still show a ton of damage. Those on-scene photos show serious damage to both the front and rear of the car - just look at the direction of the tires. The firefighters would have cut off the roof and peeled it back, torn out the dash & steering wheel, etc. to free the trapped occupants. They wouldn't have realigned the wheels, etc.
My brother once drove into a concrete wall at around 40mph, hitting the front right corner of the car. That didn't cause anywhere near the amount of damage to his car (An Acura Integra) that this car shows and yet he ended up needing to be cut out, got a helicopter flight to a trauma center, and ended up with a metal rod in his leg. Looking at those on-scene photos it amazes me that anybody got out of that wreck alive. - g111y, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1oi, no need to get the nation involved in this *****'s idiocy!

- ricksite, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1That picture isn't quite accurate at showing the car's destruction. The police photos are better (It still looks f'ed up). The firefighters would have cut the car apart to extract the people. That picture shows a picture of the car with the parts that were cut off piled on top.
- ASSASSYN360, on 03/14/2008, -2/+1Nice hood.
- BrotherMonk, on 03/14/2008, -1/+4I think many people are overlooking the fact that they had to cut off (with the "Jaws of Life") the roof of the car to remove the passenger, and upon taking that structural support out of the equation the car became a crumpled mass of metal.
- drastik21, on 03/14/2008, -3/+3Who's overlooking it? You're just the first person to comment on it.
- elipabst, on 03/14/2008, -0/+2You realize the frame in that car isn't made of bamboo. The convertible version of that car manages to drive around just fine without that structural support and doesn't crumple into a mass of metal on its own. The vast majority of the damage was due to the impact with the tree.
- Chirp08, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1the car will not implode when the roof is cut away, it will just have no strength, sitting there stationary it might throw off some fender gaps, and it shouldn't be driven, but in no way does it contribute to any of the damage that you are referring to.
- historyfool24, on 03/14/2008, -12/+7HAha brooke does look like a post-op tranny

- alpha94, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1I've seen some spectacular high speed wrecks while racing at a track but I can't imagine how anything like this happened on the street. Even the rims are bent all over the place. WTF?
- ricksite, on 03/14/2008, -1/+2During a wreck at a race, a car may come in contact with another car or the wall. When this happens, the car may spin and parts may fly off. When this happens, the car is loosing energy and it will slow down and eventually come to a halt. When a car hits a tree at, say, 55mph, it goes from 55 to 0 pretty much instantly (i.e. much greater force).
