Description:
A Mitsubishi Eclipse "show car" that crashed in Holt, Florida.

I would elaborate, but I'm too busy headbanging.

But the driver said that he was going SO FAST that the air totally crushed the hood of the car and smashed the front in.

I cant decide if I should vote a 9 for the ugly car, or a 1 for the fact that the ugly car is dead.

Yes! Minus 1. (Now, if we could somehow convince the other 234,345,907,213 ricers in the streets to do the same...)
Nice one Skid.

#2, In the owner's own words:

"On July 12, 2002 I was at the Emerald Coast Drag way, in Holt Florida. The occasion was for what is called a 'Test & Tune' night.....I was there due to the fact I had a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse, that was a 'show car'. Meaning it was dressed up with neon lights, graphics, stereo equipment, things of that nature. We had recently experienced a rather bad oil leak, so had done some repairs to the car ourselves, so with this in mind we decided to take the car to the track to test the stress level on the engine to make sure the leak was in deed repaired and holding.....Anyway, the car in the right lane was flagged on down the track before me, then I was sent down. Approximately middle way down the track, I saw the tail lights of the other car and before I realized what was happening he turned directly across in front of me. He was attempting to exit what was considered an emergency exit instead of going the end of the track as was the correct procedure. (cont.)

(cont.) When I saw the car cut across in front of me, I tried to avoid hitting him, by slamming my brakes and trying to turn my wheel away from him, towards the far left. But even though I slid approximately 65 feet, we collided at around 40 miles an hour. My front right bumper to his drivers side door, which slung us into the guard rail where we came to a stop......ended up doing the surgery on my right hand as well as the surgery on my shoulder, where and inch of my clavicle bone was removed and I still required another surgery for the rotator cuff."

The funniest part has to be the owner's definition of "show car".

The other side of this thing looks much worse...the right wheel had maximum toe in. :D

Also: I thought the Eclipse was restyled for '99? Or was 2000 the year they inflated them and put V6s in?

#15, Yep, '99 was the last year for the Eagle Talon (i.e. 2nd gen DSM)...actually, last year for the Eagle brand, period. America lost another great car that year, as '99 was the last year for the 3000GT, RIGHT after it had been restyled...which is a shame, the '99s looked great.
