I know it's old as hell, but I'm laughing every time.
No pics cause i'm awesome but:
When I was 16 I was driving down one of those curvy ass country roads back from a friends house (i had to get my backpack cause he was a dick and didnt want to carry mine and his on the bus with him in the morning so he made me come get it at 11 at night) and as i was rounding a curve, i encountered a Sonata with those bright fucking hallogen headlights on high beams. I panicked and swurved to the right and felt the car go off the road so i jerked it back to the left, went into a spin, into a ditch, the car then began to roll about 5 times out of the ditch, through a chain link fence, through a baby pine tree, and came to rest upside down about the width of my computer monitor away from this guys bedroom window. The guy came outside to see if i was ok and i was like "yeah i'm good" as I was just hanging there upside down. He says "you should probably get out of that thing then" so I turn the car off (idk how the fuck it was still running), turn the lights off, and without thinking I unbuckle my seatbelt and fell on my head. All for a fucking backpack.
Other than that, about 3 months ago a gigantic turkey jumped out of a ditch while i was doing about 70 and hit my drivers side side view mirror and ripped it clean off my car. That was kinda cool lol.
This is my car after I was rear ended by a semi doing about 50mph and I was stopped at an intersection. I was traveling home for thanksgiving and didn't quite make it lol. I don't remember anything from the accident except seeing the semi in my rear view mirror. I was wearing a seat belt which is the only reason I lived. My spoiler came through my back windshield and over my two front seats and struck me in the head. I have a gnarly scar from it. That thing that looks like a computer hanging out of my trunk was a brand new custom built PC, had it for all of 7 days lol. That guy standing next to the semi is the fellow that nearly killed me, but managed to kill the people in the vehicle behind me.

The gas tank in old VW's are in the FRONT and the front of the car is 100% hollow as the engine is in the back. That caused a gas leak. The fire actually started because 1970 VW seats were made out of horse hair and hay. They were just covered with some cloth. The battery is located under the back seat. When I ran into the lady the battery set the back seat on fire, which caused all that smoke...then the gas lit and it was all over Q_Q.
Praise Jesus for horses.
Goin down the highway at about 5:30am after being at a party (of which I didn't drink much). Fell asleep about 10 miles away from my exit. Woke up one exit past where I should've been just before rear ending a semi doing about 90-95+. No injuries to be had. I believe I pushed myself so hard in to the seat that I didn't move upon impact.
NOTE: No driver side airbag deployment and passenger side malfunctioned and went off with nobody there!

Lady in the red car thought it was a 3 way stop and just drove out turning left with that truck goin full speed.
You mean that truck that looks like it took no damage whatsoever? BRB, buying one of those.
Here's my grandmothers and uncles car after a drunk took it out one night. Pissed me off cause not even 5 minutes earlier I just finished getting my joyuse and was bsing in vent and debating bout sleep when I hear this loud smash. If my grandmothers and uncles cars wern't there, he would have gone into mine in the driveway which only had minimum insurance -_- And to make it even more awsome, he was an illegal immigrant with no insurance.

Sheet metal simply means metal that's pressed into a sheet, so technically those old trucks are sheet metal too. And cars today are still made out of steel, they just have more plastic/fiberglass parts outside of the body and frame. And the steel is less thick.
Not very impressive damage to vehicle...highsided in the mountains and managed to keep most damage concentrated to my body as opposed to my bike. The worst of it was the windscreen that my boot went through as I went for a short flight. Plastics surprisingly ok, tank dented a little from my body, left that as a memento to remind me every time I ride it now.

The body damage looks more impressive however...
