19 year old takes a new Clubsport for a test drive and look what happens:

This only happened a few days ago at a Melbourne car dealer.

Check out the resto of the pictures here: Carnage

Just found a bit more detail on the incident:

Ok he wasnt 19 he was 23 (and its HIS car not a test drive) he has had the car approx 5-6 months it was insured in his Mums name. He was being followed by an off duty copper in a SS and was doing approx 160 down Grimshaw Street...and lost is when a car in front went to make a turn..forcing him into the kerb and up onto the grass (this in turn as it is sloped) acted as a ramp...he then used the BMW as a trampoline and took out BMW, Vectra, Commodore and a Ford Ute..as well as serious damage to the Clubby. TMU arrived on the scene within a couple of minutes and he was taken away 15 minutes after the accident, they are going to throw the book at him...apparently he had been followed for a while and there are approx 5 witnesses also claiming to see him driving like a tool..... speeding heaps and weaving in and out of traffic

I like the "certified vehicles" signs on the windscreens......

Watson Holden certifies that all vehicles on the lot have passed a stringent 100 point safety inspection - well except for the ones that have a Holden, BMW or Ford badge.

Now I know why I'll never visit a Holden dealer - it's a matter of personal safety....
