Jesus ... I'm assuming this wasn't you? And if it is/was, hope you're OK. And the same goes for whoever that is/was, hope everything's OK.

This is why you don't drive on space saver spare tires.

Well...yes and no. First rule of thumb is never put those on your drive wheels. Second is stay below 50MPH. Third stay under 50 miles on them.

Fire Dept. was on the spot. That's a neat way of doing a partial roof removal. Only cut the C post out, then did a spread in that gap, laid the front seat back and slid the spine board in the back window. Fast and effective. Unfortunately, being cut out of any car is never a good thing. I hope who ever it was recovers quickly. I've wrecked a 5th Gen before, and although they take the impacts quite well, that hit is in a tough spot for any driver.

judging by the shredded back rim (front is a stealie, btw, not a spare), the car hit the curb during a slide and did half a roll. think where the fender meets the a-pillar/windshield.

must be a damn good burger... man was on a mission.
