I know a lot of guys like this and they're all virgins, all mummy's boys, can't hold their liquor, can't play sports and I suspect a couple of them are homos. They're just exerting their sexual frustration.

If it hit the tree on the left headlight I could maybe see the back end skewing around toward the house, but it didn't, so how did this happen?

BTW trees almost always win

I can clearly see the damage on the tree where the car has hit it.
Trees are surprising strong when it comes to cars hitting them.
Ive seen a tree that a car was ripped in 2 from hitting - the tree had a bit of bark missing and nothing else.

I got the link from another forum. They've been on a mission to track him down so they can video themselves paying him out.

Vehicle travelling at some speed from the right of the photo impacts the tree with the FRHS, gravity, inertia and shape of the tree throw the car to the right. If you hit it hard/fast enough it seems likley.

No pics but I had a nice person flash me to warn of a speed camera ahead.

Problem was, it was facing towards their direction, not mine.

lol

Quite a number of the new fangled cameras can get both directions.

BTW guys this is where the commo was smashed..



Seems absolutely impossible, but yeah the trees damaged and the crumple on the car lines up with the trees angle... Makes no sense, must have been intentional if it isn't set up.

Not necessarily. Cars, trucks or anything for that matter can end up in any direction after impact with anything. Those pics to me look like the **** end of the commo just turned after he hit the tree. It’s not often the people hit trees and the car stays perfectly straight.

I'd also expect to see some sort of disturbance of the grass under the wheels - but there's absolutely nothing. No attempt to brake, no loss of control and no divot after the impact.
