Default Another Tragedy...

It was just another day until I saw this GTR on the back of towing truck...Well, Whats left of it. I couldnt help myself but follow it to the shop and managed to take some pictures. Guy at the shop said the car was not even 2week old and the damage comes out to be over $60,000. I just dont understand why things like this happen...

Somebody had to be hauling cookies to rip the whole front-end off of the car. Either the GT-R driver or the other.

Do people think that because the GTR's handling and whatnot is so good, they think they're invincible?

Maybe someone ran a light and plowed into him? He could have been simply enjoying the drive and cruising around

Actually, I don't see a whole lot of cosmetic damage to the engine bay walls. It looks more like it's been stripped down by some really skilled thieves, but you'd think that if it had been wrecked, it wouldn't have been stripped down like that until it had gotten to the body shop. The engine bay seems clean for a vehicle that's been in an accident. Usually there are fluids, oil, etc., smeared about, but not always. Did you happen to get any pictures of the passenger side? I see the one part of the frame on the passenger side is bent inward.

Something isnt' right with these pics. How do you get into an accident, and the whole engine and subframe completely pop out of the engine bay??
