Default Mazda RX-7 Chasing Cat Up a Tree ? . . .





Driver parks sports car up a tree

KENT, Wash. - An out-of-control driver parked his red sports car halfway up a tree Sunday evening.

Neighbors said the driver of the Mazda RX-7 bought the car the same day.

Witnesses said the driver was speeding in excess of 70 mph down Woodland Way around 8 p.m. when he lost control on a curve.

Pictures show a slight berm, which may have helped launch the car nine feet up the tree. The car came to rest in a nearly vertical position against the tree.

Witnesses said if not for the tree, the car would have ended up inside the living room of the nearby home.

Incredibly, the driver had only minor injuries.

Damn, he wrecked the same day he bought the car? Good for him. I hope he had no insurance and will be paying for his mistake all out of pocket.

Proof that trees are not phased by car accidents. The car is nearly folded in half and the tree has a scuff.
Anyone remember the S6 Avant thread?

Needs some touch up paint and good to go.
Some people learn the hard way-we hope. Such a nice car wasted.
