My neighbor across the street has a girlfriend that owns a blue Sunfire. She normally parks it in front of their house.

Two nights ago, a Suburban hit it at 35-40mph. We live in a 25mph zone.

This is what’s left of the Sunfire.

(Tarp is to keep water out, not because of fatalities. Car was vacant at time of incident.)

Sunfires are not safe vehicles.

Somebody in a Suburban doesn’t know how to drive? Astonishing. I’d like to hear their explanation for what happened, probably along the lines of “they shouldn’t have parked their car where I drive”.

This is a stretch, but I'd wager the Suburban driver had a few too many.

After an accident like that, I’d imagine that water getting inside is the least of their worries.

Thank god no one was in the sunfire when it was hit. Hopefully the suburban drivers insurance will give your neighbor enough money to get a safer car.

Yipes, glad nobody was in the car. Hopefully the driver was insured.

Glad no one was injured. Maybe this is the way for the universe/karma/God/flying spaghetti monster/etc. to say that suckfire needed to die.

At first glance I thought I read “Hopefully the driver was injured,” and I was thinking “whoa that’s kinda harsh.”

My roommate has pictures immediately post-crash. I’ll have to have him post.

Driver was texting while driving, dropped phone, bent down to get it, plowed into Sunfire.

Looks like her plan worked. I mean if I had a Sunfire I’d park it on the street too in hopes someone would steal it or total it. Then I could get the insurance money to buy something better.

Yeah, that would be harsh. I’m not THAT cold.

It was beyond saving already anyway. Also, if this really was a 35mph crash, I dont wanna be in a Sunfire while driving at normal speeds.

The roommate has been doing it with his G35 for two years. No luck yet.

That doesn’t look like a truck hit it. That looks like a F4 tornado hit it.

It got pancaked between two Suburbans - the one that hit it, and the one it was parked behind.
