flipped neon...wtf (Pics)

So I was in class today and heard a helicopter. By the sounds of it, it was there for like five minutes. I didn't really pay attention to it and kept on lurking here. Well after class finished, I was going to the cafeteria when I saw fire engines and a flipped neon in the parking lot.

I don't know if you can see the reverse lights, but the fire engines were reversing so they could leave. The only thing I saw them do was throw the doors on top of the car.

What I thought was odd, was that there was nobody there supervising the car. The campus police were not there, fire men had left, and there was not even a crowd around it; but then I thought to myself, it's just a neon. Maybe when it had just happened the cops and crowd was around it, but not when i got there.

I asked around, and nobody knew what had happened. I'm sure I will find out in the days to come.

No plates on the car, probably taking the jaws of life for a spin.

You are probably right. I hadn't thought about that.

Yeah, there's glass, but it's still staged...definitely not enough glass for 6 windows.

I think AD is right about the jaws of life because all of the doors were cut off.

For one week a year my school parks a car outside the front doors that has been in a accident...everybody can go look at the car and even take a look inside...they do it as a drinking and driving prevention type of thing...its kind of freaky because sometimes theres blood on the airbag, and let me tell you the message gets across rather quickly...my best guess is that its one of those prevention things, like Crazy Sellout mentioned.....

Staged. I think when I was in college they did one of those. It went on for a week and started with a unwrecked car and they kept adding major damages to it. By the end of the week you couldn't even tell what type of car it was.

That looks like a practice or one of those alcohol awareness things. We had one of those every year in high school during prom season.

I noticed the Miller Light (maybe Bud Light?) cans as well.

All of the wheels look like spares.
