Yikes! A big NO THANK YOU for posting those.

On the plus side, there weren't any smashed up yellows shown.
Three cheers for visibility! :D

makes for good viewing? Ok, all humans have morbid curiosity, but good viewing? I just hope those poor drivers are ok.

At least a few of the wrecked cars look like they belong to forum members, if I'm remembering their previously posted pics correctly.

Yeah, I think that's mysql101's site? Anyway, two of the red pix are my car after she was rear-ended on the freeway. Don't worry -- she's all better now, and the driver (me) is OK.

Banged up RX-8's

Great link with sad pics. Yeah, maybe "good viewing" was the wrong choice of words to use. I meant it in the aspect of "be aware of your surroundings or this just may happen to you". It makes me cringe to see all of these banged up RX-8's.

Those make me want to cry.

Damn, Aratinga, you DID get nailed by that Pasadena truck! I'm glad you finally got your car back - what was it, like 4 months?

Does anyone notice that the passenger compartment seems to be intact in these photos? Metal and rubber can be replaced. Sad, expensive, emotionally painful, but if you walk away, its a better day than it could have been.

Yep. Two of those photos are mine... The Titanium Gray, 4th and 8th down the left column.

In the 4th one down, the while Grand Marquis behind the car is who drove into me head-on doing 60 (I was stationary) and spun me 4 times and tossed me back 40 feet. All I got was a Mazda logo scar on my wrist from the airbag logo.

From page one, that's mysql101's RX-8. Tampa area.

I was just going to say that that rear ended red one is our beloved Aratinga's car after she was hit by a CalTran work truck on the freeway!
