That's what I was thinkin'. I think it used to be a BMW 318i maybe 125-130 hp. I think the give away for me is the tree looks ok. That car should'a ripped a tree like that up.Actually, Michelle, where did these pics come from? I'm beginnin' to suspect that this is not an actual crash. At least not a 155mph crash. Doesn't look like a car that'd be capable of 155... Also, lots of highschool aged lookin' kids mullin' around it. Most accident scenes are not "populated" like this. I'm wonderin' if this isn't some sort of young driver education demo or something. We've done similar set-ups (not that extreme) for high school prom "Say No" programs and such...
You know any particulars on this Michelle?
Ummm...OUCH!

Yeah but look how effectively the crumple zones worked. I mean it kinda looks like perhaps they are being a tad overzealous with em' though.
Does make you wonder though...what happens to the Busa and the rider when they leave the road at 180 and hit a tree.... Those pictures we could not post...

Yeah, that's an actual crash. See how the car ate the bark off of that tree? That is what happens when a car hits a tree hard enough to do that much damage. The red car was wrapped around the tree some other way, I'm sure.
The decklid spoiler and the door handles/window cranks/door panels look like Ford parts, particularly a Ford Escort or Mercury's equivilent...That's what I was thinkin'.

I saw these pictures a few months ago and I have to agree with Bullet. The forum did not beleave them to be true. They could be but lots of missing parts. Still, something for us to think about. Sledhead scolded me last weekend for my chain being very loose. Heck, my bike only has thee thousand miles on it. I never even thought about that. Oh yea. 15lbs of air pressure in your front tire is not good. LOL, now that I think about it, Sled was pretty hard on me.

thats a ford escort
euro spec
there pretty fast cars set up right
i drove a few while in Europe
You could be right...It could be done with a junk car and a couple tow trucks. Wouldn't be that hard to wrap an escort or similar vehicle around a tree...
Do you really think a huge group of high school aged teens just happened up on the autobahn at the scene? Looks like a parking lot in the background. I'd be willing to bet it's a school parking lot...
Can you say...Ouch?
