Jesus....I know modern cars crumple for safety, but how the hell could you get enough speed in a parking garage to do that???

    Holy fuck. That car looks like the Terminator T1000 when his head gets split in half

    You've got to admire how safe modern cars are. And also the pillar looks so unbothered it's impressive.

    It’s like a chestbuster jumped out of the car.

    From the original thread, there were a couple comments that shed light on what possibly happened:

    @ramble81@lemmy.zip

    That was a BMW M440i (i recognize the wheels, color and slope of the back). It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s

    Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar

    And then @sergio@piefed.social came through with the link for launch control:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_control_(automotive)

    Launch control is an electronic aid to assist drivers of both racing and street cars to accelerate from a standing start. Motorcycles have been variously fitted with mechanical and electronic devices for both street and race.

    Is this real? I mean that man must be a fucking twat + idiot, but doesn't he deserve medical treatment? Concern? Mock and shame him afterwards as much as he deserves, but show some care? Wtf is this dystopian shit.

    Cool exploded view of an engine.

    Shit's wild, it took me until the third watch to figure out where the engine went.
