You've seen all sorts of crash videos on autoevolution, but we think its fair to say you've never seen something quite like this.
How do you know when you're having a bad day and god probably hates you? He sends a gigantic bolder tumbling down the side of a mountain and into your car. We're talking "bigger than a house" gigantic, not "the size of a wheel" gigantic.

The video shows how the lighter debris that came before the huge rock pushes the white Toyota out of the way just enough so the big smasher doesn't hit it. The really scary though is that the rock almost rolled over once more right at the end, which would have been the end for the people in its way.

The video was captured recently in Keelung Badouzi, in Taiwan. They're calling it a mudslide, even though there's nothing muddy about that rock. Reports say nobody was killed (miraculously), but two people were injured. We wish them a full recovery so that they can tell us their survival story.

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.
