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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Read the rest of this entry »
