We knew it was coming, but now that it has happened we’re actually pretty sad about it. Yes folks, the first Scion FR-S sports coupe, deliveries of which only started about two weeks ago, has been crashed.
The owner of the car says he was taking a right turn he knows very well, but somehow he lost control of the car while doing about 20 mph (32 km/h). He says he doesn’t know what happened, but he was heading for a telephone pole. He also say that in his panic he pressed the clutch instead of the brakes.

“I couldn't believe how much the car just crumpled. I just looked at it and sat on the ground. I can't even describe to you the feeling of seeing it like that. I just wanted to cry,” the FR-S owner says.

"I want you guys to know that I truly feel awful about the whole thing," he said in a post on the FT86 Club forum. "I am truly sorry for letting my fellow FR-S owners down, and through making a complete ass out of myself, I feel I've learned a valuable lesson, albeit a hard one."

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
