Default Wild Porsche crash...

Not sure if anybody has seen this or not. This is a wild crash, thankfully the driver and passenger essentially walked away from it. You can see the initial carnage to the vehicle, pretty crazy.

Notice that he knocked over several sections of the concrete highway barriers? Not a good place to stand for protection!

Agreed. It doesn't take much. A good reminder that those 'fun little AutoX courses' could do the same thing to our cars if we're not careful.

yep, he was carrying pretty good speed.

I wouldn't say he was a bad driver. This is being confident with your brakes and handeling but forgetting or not knowing that unknown factor...tire to the ground surface condition.

Love the guy at the end....."yes Domino's? Can I get 4 large (CRASH) oh snap....make that 3 large....."
