The tree won.

It was a good thing this guy didn't have any passengers with him! It actually ripped the car in half!

Even if he hadn't hit that tree, the ones behind them in the middle of the road would have gotten him for sure!!

If he's going to try to kill himself--at least he didn't take anyone else with him. Darwinism at work.

Well there is only so much that a well-designed car can do to "soften" a moron's crash. Audi's do very well in crash tests. I'd hate to see what a worse car would have looked like.

I am sure that was not a serious question . . . but it is a slick strip, it keeps critters from climbing up in trees.

They need one for Audis.


Lesper4, that't the first thing I thought of when I saw this pic. Another idiot doing eleventy-hundred or so, tearing a car in half and walking away.

I tried babelfish:

Offer the remnants of my AUDI RS6 Sees badly out however still enough parts usable. Engine ok, up to a small hole in valve cover, most brake parts, transmissions and differential are still new and usable are intact, 1 x orginal exhaust system, 1 x orginal shock absorbers (intact). I give no warranty on the function of these remnants, and take over no transport costs.

No warranty? No Scheiße!
