Get off my lawn!

They had to cut the roof off so it likely was not a Boxster. It is hard to tell with what remains.

It's a Boxster, roll hoops right behind the seats, side air vent, parts of the convertible top still there.
Ugly.

In England...?
A Chrysler 300 and two GMC trucks in the pic (one looks like it has a US plates)? Looks like Iowa or something. |

"Speed well in excess of 100 km/h."

Way to read the article sammy. It's London Ontario Canada. And yeah, 100 km/h or 60 mph is a pretty high rate of speed for a city street no matter how you look at it. I thought you were the law-and-order type?

It's a 50km/hr zone so she was 30mph over the speed limit. A Rennlister's sister-in-law btw.

I'd always heard that if you go from a speed as low as 35mph to zero instantly, it can be fatal.
Anybody else hear this, too? KT

Looking at the car, I'm amazed she wasn't killed.

She was probably doing twice the speed limit and didn't stop after the first accident because she was late for her latte meet with the girls.
