Holy COW this thing is trashed! And read the description, the poor guy just had liability insurance. Man that hurts. Hope he at least came out of the accident without any major injuries.

What a waste of 25 grand!
This is not the first GT we've seen crashed while still brand new... clearly eihter these drivers can't handle the power or else there's a streak of bad luck out there!
That GT is totalled, with nothing looking reusable. Everything, even the engine, looks wasted!
And notice how it's sitting in the middle of a field?
They'll likely just end up planting that hunk of metal and saying it was "stolen", right?
Can't figure out why somebody would pay over $700 for it.

I would wager that a lot of these '05 wrecks are people pushing this car beyond their abilities as drivers. It's a dangerous ride for people not accustomed to some serious power at their command and/or a good knowledge of the car's handling.
Kinda cool that, for the most part, the carriage is still intact. The rest of the car is trashed as trashed gets. Reminds of a wreck I saw where a guy rolled a WRX off of a 20 foot cliff (A salesman rolled it during a test-drive, can you say lawsuit?), completely trashed the car but the passenger compartment was still OK and they walked away with a few cuts, bumps and bruises. $10 Million for emotional distress please, kthx.

Looks like one of the cars they used in "Independence Day" when the ailens first cut loose in NYC only muddier. Why would anyone that had enoough money to pay $30K for a new car not have full coverage. I paid cash for mine but would never consider leaving it without full coverage. Hindsight is 20/20. Geez Louise.
