1st gen takes 250ft plunge off cliff!
I'm watching the news right now and some chick ran her green 97 off a 250 ft cliff. I can't believe how well the car took the crash and she survived w/ minor scratches and bruises!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE!


the car even started up and the cops were able to back it up

Hey, I just saw the same thing on the news. Where you watching Fox 11? The guy didn't even know it was an Acura, he said it was a Honda

That is absolutely amazing. I'd love to see video. Too bad they couldn't make their trannys as indestructable (I know, I know, let the tranny thing go already).
