Moral of the story -- Buy a Subaru.





Seriously, though... did the Saturn get launched off that little curb in the first picture? Must've been going pretty fast.

Must have been one insane ride for the driver of the Saturn. Hope no one got hurt. Might be a new record for jumping cars without a ramp, lol. j/p.

Think that's a record. Looks like about 15 feet without a ramp. Completely clearing the first car

That was some serious bad driving.... they had to be going extremely fast to hit that curb and fly over the first two cars..... I can't even imagine....

I don't know anyone that can get a Saturn to do that - must have been in some sort of autocross event earlier in the day.

i think that the saturn:
1. hit the curb, go over those "bush"
2. let the accord ate some dirt
3. hit the gold saturn and bounce back up in the air like a basketball
4. eventually drop down in that position like a fish jumping into the water (but got stuck....)

Wow!!!! The TL is holding up the Saturn with authority too! It just looks like the TL is lowered. The Saturn appears to have suffered more damage.

Louisiana doesn't require front plates either. The number on the "For Rent" sign is a Georgia telephone number. Maybe the Saturn belonged to someone from Louisiana evacuating for Hurricane Katrina and had to use the bathroom after the long trip.
