why is it that "Japanese Sports car crashes" in SG news...
-
....ALWAYS involves WRX ar?
Why no Evo or 350Z ever buang and appear on our local news?
-
maybe bcos u only zoom in on wrxes when u read the news??? its a subconcious thing... and only wrx news register in ur brain...
-
One of these days, LTA / TP is going to BAN all turbo charged cars like WRX & EVO if accidents involving them are constantly HIGH!

Mostly it is WRX!
Had spotted a Miata and a BMW too!

There are alot of accidents happening everyday on our roads, but only those involving sports cars (Jap ones mostly) are more often mentioned in the local media. Why? Simply because they attract ppl's attention more than ur average Altis/Sunny. Best is if the driver is some young chap driving some fast car which is bought by his/her parents. Let's face it... Who will be as keen to read about some old uncle thrashing his 10 yr old Datsun truck? (unless it's very serious of course) Even if those stories are reported, it's just a small paragraph which u can easily miss.
Moral of the story? What we see and feel are somewhat dictated by the papers.
Anyway, i think the type of car has nothing to do with ppl getting into accidents here. The advantages that sports cars have over ur average joe cars are mainly top speed and acceleration. In local context, top speed is kinda irrelevant. And acceleration did not kill the driver. Speeding did (just my guess after reading the papers) One can speed in any car (yeah even the QQ). You dun need a Ferrari to speed right?
Thus the car is not really the main issu, it's the driver. Just that it's pretty unfortunate that ppl who like to speed tend to flock to cars like WRX and Evo. -
wow. u can tell a driver's exact age just by looking at them! are u psychic or wad?Originally posted by olala:jz last week i saw this red and modified evo 9,with stickers

is a beng driver...his face says it
really hes way young -
I have a few points to make:
1stly, I think EVO drivers number lesser than WRX drivers, hence chances for a WRX to have an accident is higher.
2ndly, we all know that overall, the WRX is slightly less capable than the EVO. Ok this point may be debatable, but at the end of the day, from an OVERALL engineering POV, even if the EVO's capabilities is down to its electrics, it the sum of all parts and the end product that counts.
3rdly, while I think this was a pretty clear cut case of street racing gone wrong(my inside sources say he was racing a RX-
, and that its a pretty clear demonstration of the consequences, I think its wrong to think the car must have been bought by his parents. Ok I may be wrong, I'm in UK and i haven't gotten to read the news report, so im assuming the newspapers never said his parents bought the car for him. While i do no condone street racing, it can be said in fairness that he could have started working at a young age, and saved enough to buy this car? I do know of people around the guy's age who have their own cars and they didn't get their $ from their parents. -

WRX cheaper what, some more cult status on the same level as evo, so all the beng go buy and have accidents in them.

Seems like wrx gets into accident quite often. My fren working at MI says that the quite a number of wrx gets into accident. Normally is due to speeding or trying to be funny. Those owner always comes back n give bull story... But in the eyes of the experience mech at MI... they know that its always the case of trying to be funny with the car.
Well.. wrx is a car meant to chiong.. hehe -
Dunno why the focus on young drivers getting into accidents.... actually middle-aged ppl driving Altis/Sunnys/HYUNDAI also contribute to alot of accidents, more specifically hitting other cars or got hit dah dah dah. Reason why? Ignorance of course.
Its really not fair to always blame young inexperience drivers when even middle-aged ignorant bastards inculding taxis also contribute as much. :s -
He made the driver pull over and show him his license mah!Originally posted by HENG@:wow. u can tell a driver's exact age just by looking at them! are u psychic or wad?
