Z4 crash goes viral

Redacre · 04-23-2018, 12:46 PM

Saw this trending today... too bad, looks like it was a nice black on black E85.

HOLY

That's NOT gonna buff out.....

RevsPlease · 04-23-2018, 04:24 PM

Owch. All things considered, that doesn't look too bad. Front right sub frame may even have survived. I'd definitely want that written off though. Hope they have good insurance!

Dorkus. Hot footing a car he hardly knows, in the rain, on a city street. Dorkus.

What was that term from that old Irish film “The Commitments’?

Oh yes. Eejits. Fookin’ eejits.

Inexperience. Greasy road. No surpise really.

Roadroach · 04-23-2018, 09:23 PM

Right front probably 1.5 psi too high. Should of used a digital tire gauge....

kaybat · 04-23-2018, 09:49 PM

shouldn't that have set off airbags?

Impact was pretty low. If they'd hit really hard they'd have been fishing the phone taking the video out from under the dash.

That has to be the slowest induced accident (matched by an even slower reaction by driver) to cause so much damage. Had driver countered during first “oh shit” car might’ve been saved.

Hooning on a residential street in the rain?

Idiots.

scrammer · 04-23-2018, 11:51 PM

DSC ... off perhaps?!?!?!

Is it bad that I immediately notice how bad the top was absorbing water and that it has not been treated in years????

Hawkeye · 04-24-2018, 02:15 PM

That is a costly lesson to learn, poor car.

KevsZ4 · 04-24-2018, 03:52 PM

This is why we can't have nice things.

DVCNick · 04-26-2018, 09:33 AM

That is what happens to people who take vertical video... karma catches up to them eventually.
