This isnt good for the stereotype...
 

OMG.

This just goes to show how much safer cars have become over the last 40+ years. If someone had been sitting in that Lemans this story would be much more tragic.

I feel bad for the owners of both of those classic cars. I'm sure there is a story behind each of those cars. A lot of passion, and dedication and money. Goes into making a car look that nice. Then for it to be taken out suddenly would be heart braking.

You go out to a car show looking to have a good time and you end up with a smashed car. I guess you'd be thankful that you or a loved one was in the car when it happened.

I went out to a car show once, with my Cutlass. Got into a really bad rear end car accident. Wasn't my fault. Sure ruined my day. Just glad I wasn't seriously injured.

ahhhhh this made me cringe, and what are you trying to say here bud

There are a bunch are stereotypes that I can see just from those pictures. Take your pic. LOL

But I'm sure it's not the obvious one.

i agree with the stereotype but im just so tired of hearing it and people implying that because im a girl im a bad driver... not saying you are, just some jerks i know

I went by a stereotype the other day weaving badly.... She had a phone in one hand, a mascara applicator in the other(and the steering wheel) and yelling at the kids in the back of a minivan......To much multi-tasking going on for comfort. I went around her, pointed it out to the wife, and said "What no Starbucks coffee? :D

It's not just any old woman in that car though, it's an Asian woman. They're worse than normal women.:w3

The damage is what surprised me, although it was a t-bone, would of thought more damage to the Lexus, less to the boat.... Pontiac.

First thing that came to mind was not a stereotype, but a stuck gas pedal... Toyota/Lexus.

Had a stuck gas pedal driving my F-350 on a federal highway in Northern Arkansas in 2007. Went to pass a 18 wheeler and after passing him, the Ford kept going and going super hard. Took a second to realize. I shifted to neutral, engine raced and then shut off the key and drifted to the shoulder. Its not as quick to address a stuck gas pedal as one would think. In my Ford's case, it was a new Ford where they put the floor mat in upside down and it creeped into under the gas pedal and caused the problem. After that I often think of punching a hole in floor mats and running a wire from the hole to the seat to prevent creep.

Well i see an asian woman in a japaneese car or chineese w/e it is who wrecked..i see two beautiful cars destroyed..Surprisingly her blinker is not on?!?! but if i were the owner of that lemans i would also see murder charges coming my way LOL

A: It burned out in the accident

B: The picture was taken while it was in the "off phase".

C: The impact actually turned it off for her.

OH
MY
GAWD!

i would kill that lady if that was my Lemans!! i really hope he took some decent pictures of it BEFORE the accident..

hahahahahahahahaha how does that even happen

I thought the stereotype was that Lexus drivers couldn't/don't care to pay attention when they drive

why didnt her bags deploy...i mean she obviously hit the lemans hard enough to drive thru it and push it into the other car

weird!

TBH (and I'm definitely not engineering inclined), but her car barely looks damaged, as well, shes pretty far back in her seat, so it seems reasonable that her car's airbag sensors didn't trip. Looks like she has maybe 8 thousand in body damage that can be easily repaired (unless theres some unseen frame damage), but that Pontiac is... well... totalled.

ouch in so many ways! how do you do that?
