I know there's some good ones out there but I found this one today!
Unfortunately I don't know the story behind it but doesn't look good!

Geeze he needs rear parking sensors, looks like he grazed a pole there.

It's got a cool guage cluster :P
And fully sick RED rear brake calipers!

mmm, wonder how it happened..... Flying along a road around a corner at some stupid speed, backs of the pedal, rear slips out and BAM!!!

fark.... looks like the owner forgot to put in gear and handbrake on and it rolled down the hill backwards into a power pole!

Ooh nice find! I might go and see if the engine is still in working condition!

If its awd model, good luck! The gearbox will be damaged (mounting points etc). Engine might be ok but would be pushed forward i guess.

A clue, it happened in the wet...

I guess he wasn't using the mirrors when reversing...

could have happened in the wet.. I've noticed that as well but could be accidentally turned it on or not?

Tell you what, if he hit a pole at that speed he's lucky it was backwards, worst he'd have is a sore back & whiplash, imagine what it would have been like if he hit going forward....ouch.
Very unlikely it's AWD
