We all know how Virginia International Raceway is one tricky beast. As this driver of a Shelby Cobra can attest. While managing to flip a low sprung sports car without even leaving the track, is physically possible…. Ouch.

Looks to us like all that damage might not just buff out.

We’ve been seeing a lot of Wrecked Exotics recently, but here’s a Lamborghini Diablo crash actually caught on video.

The damage done to the truck looks to be light, but the damage to the front of the Diablo, and the driver’s ego, is gonna be a whole lot more expensive and time consuming to fix.

We can just tell that this will be one of those videos that will get a million hits on Youtube. During some kind of a racing event in Europe, an overly confident Lamborghini Diablo driver attempts to make a snazzy exit from the starting point and amuse the crowd by powersliding around a corner, only to lose control of the ‘raging bull’ smashing it on a parked truck….

Queen Latifah's Wrecked S Class

These pictures were taken at VIP Status, where Queen Latifah’s S-class was unceremoniously lowered off a tow truck. No helpful information exists regarding the crash besides what’s evident in the images. The wrecker driver said he fished it out of the ditch.

From what it appears, the suspension is toast, along with the lower control arm, and the Wald bodykit is done for;(front bumper and fenders). That right wheel won’t be salvageable and lastly that oil cooler is also a very oily mess.

The only thing we know for certain is that “Jay J” is a lover of watermarks. Step away from the Photoshop. Please.

Mercedes Benz C-Class Stuck In Concrete

In certain places around the world people from Dallas, Texas are considered rich, class-obsessed morons. This photo of a Dallas citizen deciding to ignore the bright orange warning cones and park in freshly-poured concrete only solidifies this theory.

According to Alison Bristol, who snapped this photograph, the Mercedes driver somehow missed the ongoing construction:

“Apparently, the driver didn’t realize the construction crew just finished pouring cement on the road,” Bristol said, adding that the car drove into a work area clearly marked by signs and cones.
The driver had to be helped out of the car because the C Class Mercedes was completely surrounded by wet pavement.

As for the poor Mercedes, a wrecker had to be called to extract it from the southbound lanes before it became permanently stuck in traffic.

Wrecked Exotic Nissan GT-R

This is a 2009 Nissan GT-R with 500 miles on the odometer. Well, at least this WAS a 2009 Nissan GT-R until it hit something very hard and fast in the great state of Georgia.

From the other angle, it looks just as bad.

At least we can be reasonably sure that the driver went out with a smile. It probably happend too fast for him to get out the compulsory “Oh, Sh!7!!”

Wrecked Exotic Nissan GT-R

As with anything successful, cars have gotten easier to use, cheaper to buy, and more accessible to all. Unfortunately, life has gotten harder, quicker, and more hecktic. Which is exactly why car manufacturers strive to add any technology to help people drive their cars safely. There are some electric nanny aids that many of us do without, but there are others, like rear backup cameras and warning systems, that proponents suggest could save lives. How many? If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) new findings are any indication, quite a few. In 2007 alone, 221 people were killed when vehicles backed up over them, and 99 of those were children under the age of 14. The worst part is a total of 14,000 (with 2,000 of them being children) were merely injured by being backed over.

This new data has been made publicly available by NHTSA in accordance with legislation that was passed last year that will mandate a reduction in vehicle blind spots via additional mirrors, cameras or sensors, as well as brake interlock systems that won’t allow cars to shift out of park without the application of the brakes. For a summary of vehicle safety data, click here for the NHTSA’s most recent set of reports.

At this year’s annual 2008 Audi Driver International held in the remote village of Castle Combe, England a sad thing has happened on the track – A driver lost control of his Audi RS4 Avant and thoroughly crammed it into the wall.

Thankfully nobody looked seriously hurt, just casualities of egos, but the video of the wagon’s last remaining moments reveals the oversteer, the lift off the pedal, the overcorrection, and the inevitable smash.

Though we shed a tear for the Audi RS4 Avant, you died a valiant death on the field of battle, instead of a poor death hooning on the street. We’ll drink one for you this evening.

This C6 Corvette ragtop has been caught rear-ending a W210 Mercedes E-Class in Ventura county on the morning of September 5th. Luckily, no one was hurt, but take a look at the the structural integrity of a convertible Corvette. Considering that it has driven under a 2 Ton Mercedes Benz, its remarkably in shape. One must wonder how the Vette driver felt after it was all over, staring up at the Mercedes’ driveshaft.

More pics after the jump

We can’t help but wonder, if the Vette driver had had the inclination to keep on the gas, would he have been able to go completely under the Benz and end up in front?

We weren’t given the details of how this sad event came to pass, but looking at the remains of this Bentley Continental GT you see here, but it was probably the most excitement this piece of prime real estate in Krasnoyarsk, Russia has ever seen.

Its worth shedding a tear when we see a mangled supercar, but as for this Bentley Continential, maybe not so much. Think about it: This was never a proper Bentley in the slab-sided, blower-equipped V8, rear-wheel-drive sense. No, the Continental GT is more of a new-money playboy’s car, and as such, they should be expected to be crashed spectacularly much to the amusement of others.

You can see more shots of this mangled 5200 pound monster after the jump.

But, to whomever ran this high-dollar motorcar into the Russian countryside, job well done sir. Now go out, get you some women and try to forget this debacle.

Here’s one for the record books. Canadian James Boppre, former owner of a successful landscaping business, has been placed on parole with house arrest on condition of sobriety after several drunk driving and weapons convictions. As the story goes, on the evening of July 30th, Boppre decided to get the heck off the wagon – hard. It started out with just booze and ended with Boppre crashing into a parked car while speeding, drunk, high on crack, and masturbating naked with a similarly nude hooker, who was also masturbating. Sordid details continue after the jump.Boppre decided to celebrate his Wednesday by getting drunk, but displeased by drinking alone, he decided to jump into his truck and go find a prostitute. Once this Lady of the night was found, Boppre decided smoking some crack with his new “friend” would be a good idea, as was taking off their clothes and masturbating. Oh, and don’t forget driving around. But what’s driving with 1 hand, drunk and high without a little speeding? Somewhere during the night, Boppre misjudged a corner and crashed into a parked car at a high rate of speed. With his truck disabled, Boppre decides to grab his clothes and ran off like a streak in the night. Unfortunately for him, sis cunning plan was ruined when eye-witnesses followed him to his hiding spot and pointed the cops in his direction.

So what’s the county to do with Mr. James Boppre? Well, the judge in the case wanted to reward for his considerable good behavior, at least up to that point. Since Boppre had managed to stay out of trouble up until his… you know… his booze, crack, prostitute and car crashing binge — so the judge levied the MINIMUM 4 month jail sentence, prohibited him from driving for 5 years, added 3 years of probation and recommended counseling.
