Worst Accident's Involving ThirdGen's (Pictures)
Looking through my photobucket album i keep seeing all the pictures of my old RS. That was my first car and my baby, and unfortunately i totaled it. I didnt get hurt but there was no way to fix the damage to the car. Figured it might be interesting to share pictures and/or stories of some accidents involving your thirdgen's.


Heavy rain the car hyrdroplaned and started spinning, went across the road off into a ditch sliding sideways and literally wrapped around a telephone poll (as you can see). Broke the side and rear windows, snapped the axle, easily crushed the frame, and popped the wheel off.

Read the thread, he had no injuries.
I just dont understand how you confuse the brakes and the gas?
I guess it was just one of those statistics with inexperienced drivers. At leaste everyone was okay. But I'd hate to have his new insurance rate...

4 car accident, lunch time and the streets are busy, someone trys to squeeze between you and another car and doesn't have enough time to stop so they slam the brakes and hit the person in front of them which hits the car infront of them and I hit the person who cut me off. None of the other cars are damaged let alone scratched except mine.

^needs a new fender. that is no bondo project. it might look ok for a little while, but i think itll crack kinda soon. Unles you did a lot of work with the hammer and dolly.

These pictures are mostly making me sick to my stomach..
It's good to see them though... maybe there's something to be learned from these mistakes....
Ahem..
1) Don't park your car where your mom can hit it
2) The brake is the big peddle in the middle
3) Rain + RWD = Slippery
4) Savor your car, sometimes accidents are completely out of your control.
That is all.

After looking at all these, the one that is still hammering into my head is the one with the white iroc sitting under the truck. That guy should have been dead, but thank god hes alive. That was the one pic I had to keep going back and looking at.
