Thankfully the driver is safe. When did the accident occur and where?
Rockitman the problem is with this car you do not know what your limit is and when you find out it is too late. There is nothing that will save your butt.

I think that's the one that crashed in Dana Point/Laguna.
Sorry for the driver and car, at least I think he is fine.

Can anyone post "anonomous" reasons from the drivers why these cars are crashing? 3 or 4 crashes out of 10 or so owners on this board seems pretty high statistically.
From hearing about or watching by buddys crash, I'll bet it's one of the following:
1. Driving around a blind turn too fast and then crashing into a car because the traffic stopped.
2. Same as #1 but hitting an animal or road debris.
3. Driving at 120+ and then upsetting the car's balance with a sudden maneuver, dip or bump in the road.
4. Driving at 150+ and then unexpectadly loosing control because the car was aerodynamically unstable at that speed (which, unfortunately, is the case for most P-cars).
5. About to pass a car at 120+ and then having the car swerve into your lane.
6. Hitting someone head-on because they swerved into your lane when they weren't looking.
7. Driving around a turn too fast and then hitting leaves, water, oil or sand.
8. Tailgating someone at 100+ and then they had to stop suddenly.
9. Not watching for a split second at high speed and then hitting something as a result.
I'm not preaching here since I'm guilty of many during my younger "No Fear!" days. These are just the things I see happen to my friends, and what my doctor brother has learned talking to drivers in the emergency room.

but the people purchasing these vehicles know that and prefer it that way.
