Seriously, This Driver Crashed her Car Three Times in Less than 20 Feet…


If this accident doesn't get you to smash your palm into your face, we don't know what will…

Sound impossible, but it is true and there's footage from a closed circuit television camera to prove it.

Watch a Subaru Impreza Crash Into a House at the Targa Newfoundland Rally


Here is a video blast from the past, one that we at least, have not seen before. The crew from Motoring TV says the footage, which was posted on YouTube only a couple of weeks ago, was shot at a Targa Newfoundland race from a few years back.

You may remember the race from last year's highly publicized incident involving an Edo Competition Ferrari Enzo that took a dive into the Atlantic.

In this case, the video shows a Subaru Impreza race-car coming from around the corner a bit too fast with the driver locking the brakes and the car heading, and eventually, crashing into a house!

Like a large truck carrying a small house on its trailer that wasn't tied down securely and fell on the highway with a car smashing right into it.

Seeing is believing so hop over the break for the half-pink-tinted video.

Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon's Airbags Open Without a Collision at Auto-Crossing


Another case of a GM model and one of its airbags opening without a collision of any sorts during a fast ride on the track has hit the web.

The first one we reported on concerned a Chevrolet Camaro back in August of 2011 (read here), when the coupe's side airbags deployed while the driver was drifting the car.

We don't know if they are related, but a similar incident occurred earlier this week when according to Jalopnik, GM Engineer Brad Doerr took his Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon for fun day of auto-crossing before his wedding.
