From the Avis rental car lot at the Dallas Fort Worth airport. She only had 1100 miles on her. I'm sure this one won't be the last

Be careful out there folks.

did the passenger's head bust the windshield?

OK, looks like that driver hit something on his front right that bounced off the windshield (and must have been moving pretty fast) - Deer, Human ??? Not Good

I don't think so... that glass is pushed inwards, not out AND hood is bent down on right side.

Also - right rear quarter panel is dented - odd.

trudawg660 · 06-09-2009, 09:35 AM

the glass is dented in, so something hit it from the outside

GMtothecore · 06-09-2009, 09:37 AM

there's also damage to the right rear quarter....hmmm?

Nicky · 06-09-2009, 09:37 AM

ouch, hopefully not but it looks as if the driver hit something that in turn also busted the windshield (it appears to be broken inward), is AVIS renting V-8's??? (notice the brembos!!)

Yes, but no obvious scratches - didn't hit a solid object.

I'm betting a pedestrian off the hood and into the rear quarter panel.

However - Mirror looks intact - odd.

Yes, the first posting of someone renting from Avis was a SIM SS.

Ooh, good catch on the brembos. I missed that and so did Jalopnik.com.

And yes, Avis is renting v6 and v8 models.

It looks like they hit a pedestrian on the passenger side, then swerved into a car on the right.
