Rental cars may be disguised as moderate mileage bargains that are 1 year old. Usually, they may been seen on a dealer's used car listing page in multiples. But this is the ultimate reason why one should not simply just buy such a car... Please let the following images tell the story.



Such an unfortunate event was witnessed tonight in Mexico by my cumpares and I and such incidents were the result of one individual being over-reliant on the aura of the Japanese machine. It may have bested tall bush in the jungle, but this median proved to be an epic battle.

As you can tell the car is stuck on its undercarriage and basically all four wheels were off of the ground. The only way in which we rescued the car was by lifting the front and then dragging it off the median.

This kids, is the reason why one must never go full rere.

Median: 1

What's the problem here? Any damage to the vehicle should be apparent. The driver was obviously stupid and had to get a towtruck to help.

I don't see any reason why this thread should have the word [Official] in the title.

Unintended acceleration.
