[Cardinal Fang]

Unbelievable. I'll bet anyone $100.00 Mazda will void the warranty on that car because of the mods.

"Now thats one rental car you don't want"

Cant believe the engine just drops out on fire! I liked the rims though :chuckle

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Some where, some Mazda engineer is saying.... "See, that is why we didn't put in a moonroof."

[MPS]

i dont think so
its that crazy roll cage

I know that, you know that, but the albino heliophob that said it will reduce structural integrity is using this as an example.

[cwp_sedan]

Damn that was a pretty crazy crash!

[3GFX]

lol....a used engine just flew onto ebay, anyone gonna pick it up?

Honestly, this is amazing. Buddy just climbs out like nothing happened!

[Gizzmo_jr]

That's crazy, I see the tire got some good air too.

[stas]

damn, thats one fine cage in that car. not sure what they did to the engine bay but it held up strong

[SonicBoy]

Oops, did someone forget to tighten down that engine mount? LOL

Wow! when you hear how fast the guy was going, the accident didn't even look that fast.

[kaval]

now that's a crash! and he walked out unscathed too. I'd say who cares if the engine falls out, the car would be a writeoff by then lol

[b3GS]

CRAZY!!

but that story doesn't match the video


the blue Thrifty #27 Mazda then rolled approximately ten times with a number being clean in the air ? with the impact so severe the engine, front suspension and gear box were torn clear during the crash, with the car amazingly coming to rest on its roof on the exit of The Chase.

in the video, they said he rolled 9 times, and the car landed right side up.. not on it's roof!

[FLIPDADY]

He's okay!

Crazy MS3 driver's!:chuckle

INSANE!!!! For some reason I feel more safe driving my car as you would normally have airbags to help but my god 250km/h coming around for a turn....

wouldnt it be good if the engine flew out like that cuz if it were ever to explode you'd be like 20 feet away instead of 2. I think volvo does that when you crash to the engine doesnt come onto your lap or anywhere near you, correct me if im wrong

the car was designed by volvo and is the same as the c30/euro focus so probally why that happened here too
