The poor 2012 Ford Mustang GT California Special you see hugging a tree in the adjacent images has only has about 8 hours of enjoying the wonderful fresh air brought by its intake before its owner killed it.
The owner was reportedly driving the car at 80 mph (130 km/h) through a corner, with the traction control switched off, when he lost control of the pony and ended up wrapping it around a tree that was standing legally on its roots. The result? As you can see, the vehicle is a write-off.

So, what have we learned today kids: don’t floor it through the corners, especially not with the electronic nannies put to sleep. At least not until you’ve got to know your ride and put some track tarmac under its wheels.
