Someone had a bad day (warning Crashed F type sad to see)

Buddy of mine sent me this, I've seen this clean AWD S a few times being driven around South Florida, looks its met an untimely demise. Shame but this got me thinking how many totaled F-types are out there. I know I saw a forum Member with an orange one a few months ago who lost his car? maybe a crashed F-type photo thread, a final place to pay your respects. (a lot of people who saw this actually thought this was my car and I got a lot of panicked texts and phone calls.)

That sucks. I love that color/wheel combo.
Regarding totaled F-Types not sure. But at any given time I always see 8-10 available in Copart.

Think that is what will make the RWD V-8 models collectable - many will meet an early demise. Sad to see any F type ruined, but hey, where else will we get engines and other spare parts...

AWDs seem to be crashing as well. It's typically the driver, not the drivetrain that puts it into a Jersey barrier.

The AWD can still get away from you, especially in the Rain its a very rear biased System, if its wet out and you turn TC off your sliding like a RWD car. Shit I've done donuts in my car in the dry, AWD saves you from loosing it in a straight line maybe but around the corners you can loose it.
