    Am i the only one confused by this car being dumped in a junk lot? It wasn't whisked back to the mothership? Something's wrong here, trust me.

    I can tell you one thing that is not even CLOSE to a 100mph crash. Unless they just spun out in a field there is not close to the deformation that would result from that type of accident. Guardrails, trees, curbs, ditches, walls or whatever in a regular accident would cause much more damage at that speed. Not because it isn't a well made car...in fact the best cars are meant to break apart at higher speeds to transfer the force of the crash to the car instead of the occupants.


    BS exaggeration story by the idiot salesman who cannot drive.

    Seems unlikely that such a late model exotic would

    end up stacked up in a pile in a junkyard. I

    smell something fishy. And all you see is superficial

    damage and removed parts.

    I was the first responder 2 weeks ago to a 65mph accident in a Ford Contour. After I put out the fire and took vitals, It was obvious neither occupant survived.

    Cuddos to the Tesla.

    Yeah, all that gasoline for those combustion engines has a slight tendency to burn.

    @BethAulus: DIdn't seem to specify whether or not the victims died in any kind of fire.


    @kabster: I admit I chuckled at Cuddos. (Kudos btw) :)

    Seeing as how they got a "wreckedexotics.com" decal on their door, I believe that maybe they wanted to wreck their exotic. It's just icing on the cake that they crashed into a junkyard.
