wonder if 40km a record for totalling a car??:confused: :)

I have heard many stories about people claim they KNOW how to drive but ended up in that ditch.

I go fast on that turn too, but i know my limit

most north south engine configs have belts on the front, and having stuff pushed into them, while isn't favorable, is no less favorable than any other part being damaged. If there is one reason to right it off, it would be severe drivetrain movement on impact. If the transmission isn't aligned correctly in relation to all the other components, an increase in wear can be expected, with the possibility of excessive noise.

Sad but probably true. I didn't even know crashing within 40k was possible. He must feel like a tool. Can't say I blame him.

holy shit.. world record? 40kms.. probably bought it with atleast 10-20kms already on it..

lol
now that i think of it, that's less than my daily commute
mind blowing!

i wonder if the whole incident started with the driver saying "watch this" haha

LOL

i remember i was driving past there the other night and saw a bunch of chinese guys pulled over hanging around that area with their hazards on like something happened. but that was at night time. so i assume it can't be the same crash....but maybe...who knows right

Haha, yeah. Too bad it ends with us getting bent over by ICBC once again.

Wow....just wow...40 ODO

LOL atleast it will actually have low mileage! Instead of buying a high mileage one with the instrument cluster changed haha

I think there was someone that got hit pulling out of the dealer's parking lot in their new SUV... it was a few years ago though.

i wonder how many KM were on the car at delivery

from my experience, usually less than 20, but i've seen some with more than that

dosent he just get a new one considering its still "showroom" condition?

Not unless he bought replacement insurance, otherwise he'll get market value for an 07 so he won't get the price he paid and he'll lose out on the tax.

when I looked at those pictures, it just tore my heart apart.

the STi is actually about to do a SNEAK ATTACK.. hiding in the tall grass..poor firemen.

If I remember correctly, adding to what DownLow said, someone bought an Acura MDX from the dealership on No. 3 Rd and while pulling out of the lot, wasn't familiar with how the road works, and got smoked by a bus in the middle lanes.

I like how you just took Dalton's joke...and made it as your own.:confused:


Anyway back on topic.
Break in period, right off the lot, fresh tires, good day, dry road.
Nothing really gives away how he could've driven it off the road. Unless he was doing it purposely?

Since it happened infront of the Mitsubishi dealers, my guess is some Mitsubishi fan decided to destroy a Subie infront of their fellow comrads, and cheer about it.:confused:

I can see him saying "HAHAAH, STI...DEAD...NOW! EVO TAKE OVAAA!" and running away from the car afterwards.

The owner of the Subaru is an associate of mine and he diliberately crashed it because he's a big Evo fan and loathes everything Subaru. :D

I heard about that too. lol.

Anyone know the driver or know anyone at the dealer who can tell us what happened?

Poor STI :(

Well, generally believed/accepted reasons of what happened are:

1. speeding
2. stupid driver
3. new tires / new car

2~

where can i buy this sti as salvage?!!???!??!
