Damn! Was it the girl on the ground? She seemed okay.

That is the first time I've seen an entire P engine

That must have happened at some serious speed.
Cabin did hold up pretty good.

I'm glad she's aright. Did you see that rail? I wonder what speed she was going at.

crazy pics. Looks like the railing acted like a slingshot and shot her back across the road.

WOW...cabin definitely did hold up well. The windshield isnt even cracked.

Though you cant defy physics, those highways are made as safe as possible. That guard rail did its job and put the car back on the road instead of into those trees or even worse that overpass.

The windshield is cracked but I do agree that the cabin held up very well. I feel sorry for that poor engine.

I'm sorta guessing it's something that was sprayed over something that could be considered HazMat.

That's amazing though. I have to say, the Germans have it down for safety. The new Jetta's are ridiculous with crash safety.

(Edit: I forgot to comment on the pics at first )

That's was why she drove so fast....to get that thing out of the country
Must be to soak up the gas leaking or something?

Pieces were all over the places...like the broken calipers
