struggling to find an explanation, seems to defy physics
i know bout the tires grabbing but that happens all the time in indy/f1 and usually only causes a spin or at worst a skid into a wall

i'd say its just the fact that all the weight went to the other side of the car in the corner, the wide tyres grabbing the other car and that it probably was stripped of any excess weight.
end result: WEEEEEE *CRASH*

The following are reputed to be genuine excerpts from complaints sent to landlords:
1. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared. 2. I want some repairs done to my stove as it has backfired and burnt my knob off. 3. This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door. 4. The toilet seat is cracked; where do I stand? 5. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall. 6. I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen. 7. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces. 8. The person next door has a large erection in his back garden which is unsightly and dangerous. 9. Will you please send someone to mend our cracked sidewalk? Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant. 10. Our kitchen floor is very damp. We have two children and would like a third, so will you please send someone to do something about it? 11. Will you please send a man to look at my water? It is a funny color and not fit to drink. 12. Would you please send a man to repair my downspout? I am an old-age pensioner and need it straight away. 13. Could you please send someone to fix our bath tap? My wife got her toe stuck in it and it is very uncomfortable for us. 14. I want to complain about the farmer across the road. Every morning at 5:30 his cock wakes me up, and it is getting too much.

Lol what idiots:P
Lol Chocolate starfish = eww!!! 1. Chocolate Star-Fish reffers to the butt-hole. Its shape and color resembles what you would expect to see in a star-fish covered in chocolate. This word originated back in 1847 by a scooba-diver. You could use this word in a work safe manner and it will not occure to anybody that you are being a total Ass Hole. "Hey, Fredrick... Remember when you ran into my car last week? Yeah, well, after work tonight, I was thinking of maybe shoving a grown man's elbow in your chocolate Star-Fishİ" http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...te%20Star-Fish don't u just love the fact at the bottom of urban dictionary it allows u to get the def on a mug ROFL! Get a choc starfish mug in ya!

I tried but my computer doesn't have the latest whatever I need to do it. Probably because I tried in my lunch break at work lol. Work computers are never crash hot (unless you work for a computer company lol)
