car crash

Yesterday just outside of my home an idiot driver was running fastly with his car and then he saw a cop car and hit the break and the half of the car was on the road and the other on the land right of the road and was 0.5 meters down the road. Then he tryied to start his car and the shaft which is underneath the car was broken because it was turning on the road and opened a hole in it. He is still outside my place.

Why would the drive shaft break from that?
I think you need some serious hit from below to make it break.

Hey, it's a German car, it doesn't break down all by itself.

But yes, speeding idiots are a PITA.

It broke down from the crash when the car hit the safety bar on the side of the road.

It's a VW Golf, one of the most successful cars in the world.

(But I don't like it too much myself too.)

True, but give the original golf anyday. And as for that driver one word springs to mind - MUPPET!

Safety bar? No wonder you guys lost your empire. That's a guard rail! A safety bar is something that comes down and traps you into the amusement park ride!

Of course that "car" looks like it was taken off an amusement park ride too!
