Monster truck crash compilation

The person in the gold colored Honda fled the scene. Let that sink in a moment. After causing deaths and devastating lives, they cut out



It was this past Sunday morning in California . Four bikers died in a brutal accident, five others are hospitalized. Those who lived have now lost their friends, and those who died left behind kids, brothers and sisters, parents and friends. They were members of the Saddle Tramps Motorcycle Club. It was the clubs 10th anniversary ride.

The club members were riding about 80 miles East of San Diego when a Gold Honda Accord came up from behind them and tried to pass them . Another car was in the oncoming lane, the driver tried to avoid the Honda by swerving off to his right, he lost control when overcorrecting when he hit the shoulder on his side of the road and crashed with the group of motorcycles. The driver of the Accord fled the scene.

Two memorial services are planned for this weekend, and several fundraising events are in the works to help the affected families, one is tomorrow (Saturday Nov 20th) at San Diego Harley, on the East side of freeway 163 between Clairemont and Balboa Avenue

Saturday: Blood drive in the name of the injured survivors, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., San Diego Harley-Davidson, 5600 Kearny Mesa Road.

Nov. 28: Pat & Oscar’s in Parkway Plaza, El Cajon, 2 to 9 p.m. Twenty percent of sales will be donated to a Heath family trust.

Dec. 4: Cut-a-thon at Studio B salon, 1347 Tavern Road, Alpine.

To help out: People wishing to donate to the Saddletramps can send contributions in care of the Smiths, 16204 Alpine Blvd., Alpine, CA 91901

This ruined someone's day.

I wish the story of what the car was doing on a transporter was with the photo, and what caused it to go over the front end, but the world may never get closure on this mystery. Damn shame it happens and wrecks a cool car and a group of people's day. The owner, the driver, the insurance guy, and the potential new owner if there was one.

when your rear wheel parts company with your race car and passes you in the turn, it must be Monday

Photo from http://5window.tumblr.com/ I think, it might have been http://motomania.tumblr.com/ ... I can't recall.

Funniest photo I've seen all day. While I'm on the topic; overheard at the car show today " this girl asked if she could get in my Minerva, so I said "Sure go ahead".. and waited til she was halfway in, and then said "I'm sure the owner won't mind . . . " and she freaked out.

Not going to end well for this Testarossa

Most expensive crash on record may have just been surpassed

It's looking like 55 milllion may be what this Escalade incident will cost Tiger, the final estimate is to be determined by Elin Nordegren! Previous record holders for expensive stupidity: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/number-one-most-expensive-car-crash.html

Why don't rich people like their million dollar cars?


Top photo, a photographer with no fear, bottom a streamliner beer truck

For the full 8 photo gallery of the above event: http://parkoffka.ru/item/2009/12/14/avariya_na_dreg_zaezde_8_fotografii

action sequences from Speedfest, a spin out causing yellow flags, the only crash of the day, and powering through a corner smoothly




in the above, you can see it hasn't come to a halt yet, and the wheel clip is sill in the air, next to the front of the rear tire










Most Expensive Car Crashes Ever

The Number One most expensive car crash ever may have just happened, and this Ferrari might be #2 most now... http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/most-expensive-crash-on-record-may-have.html
The most expensive car crash ever. At a historic race event, the owner of this rare beast rammed into the back of another car after traffic slowed down.

Touted as the Ferrari that most successfully embodies the traits of the marque, the 1962-64 Ferrari 250 GTO became the most valuable car in the world, surpassing the previous record of 11 million set by the Coburn 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder. In 2008 an anonymous English buyer bought a 250 GTO at auction for a record $28,500,000.

The crash represents a car worth more than the combined value of all 14 Enzos involved in accidents. It is simply unbelievable that an owner would even dare take this car on the road.
The 2nd most expensive
The record price for a 1961 250 GT California Spyder at auction was set on May 18, 2008 when a black one was sold for $10,894,900. So what is one doing buried in the sand? The unlucky owner had it stored near the beach when a Hurricane hit.
Number 3
This 1959 Ferrari 250 GT "Tour de France" crashed into a wall at the Shell Ferrari-Maserati Historic Challenge back in 2003.
