Something tells me that engine wasn't salvageable.

Apparently the car was still auctioned off in that condition... IDK what for, there is barely anything usable on that.

Good grief, that's incredible. I assume he didn't have a passenger?

The driver walked away with a scratch on his hand! He said he was going only 35mph when he was cut off on an icy road. More like 75+ to do that much damage!

Exactly. That kid had the nitrous in the car and bottle open, armed and ready to rock, parked the car from the night before, went in thehouse and left it... nextt day took thecar out probably totally forgot it was on, jumped on it and just strait lost it, tried to blame it on someone doing something stupid in fromt of him, not having the front swaybar on, something... end of the day it was 100% operator error.

Ummm yea, well here is the thing. Those "Witnesses" were completly wrong. I forgot to mention that we had an Aurora Borealis event that happened at the same time and it obviously confused them. So you know, it definitly was another driver that caused the accident.

I kinda reminded me of the movie Maximum Overdrive where the machines just ran themselves.....
