Mechanic wrecks Supra during test drive






A 1997 Toyota Supra Turbo rolled violently and crashed into a train on Monday near Denver, Colorado. Videos of the crash have gone viral and have been shared across social media after its driver was reportedly identified as a mechanic at a nearby shop, who took the iconic sports car out for a test drive. Though we haven't been able to confirm that yet, the circumstantial evidence is piling up.

The crash happened in Englewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, and the video shows a red Mark 4 Supra opening the throttle as it changes lanes, accelerating heavily before its rear end loses traction. The driver fails to recover the Toyota, and spears into a concrete barrier before tumbling into a train yard on the other side. Though the camera captures little of the crash itself, it shows the battered husk of the car as the videographer passes by.

The shop will obviously be responsible, I just hope he gets fully reimbursed. A barebones Supra runs $100k.

This would bankrupt most shops unless they have insurance for this. And good luck getting an isurance company to pay full value of a car like this. His only and best option is going to be to sue right out the gate.

Just another ricer.
I'd have corrected the slide no problem, years of sim racing teaches you how. Wheel goes loose, turn quickly and sharply into the slide for less than a second before straightening the wheel, letting go of the gas as you do it

I dont understand how that works

like with the recent dealer markups insurance wont pay me for the new price that my car is worth

id assume theyll just pay you msrp for a supra from 1999, even though its worth so much more now, especially stock

Is it possible the owner had a specific insurable amount on the car? With my antique autos, they make me put a specific dollar value and insurable amount on the car. Then I would assume if the other party cannot cover, your own insurance would kick in.

If I got money and want to be different than all the rich shmucks, then I'd pay $100k for an import. How often do you see Supras?
