I could be wrong, but based on the damage and how it's a city street, I'd say he was going WAY over the speed limit. Lucky to be alive, but let's hope this guy doesn't kill someone else next time.

First off, sorry if this is a re-post.

Second, I don't know if it was pure luck, the safety features added to these new cars that save lives...or both.

But, this is one lucky dude.

Gosh Tag, this post made me think of Ruff with his crazy driving!

If there was a passenger in that car... the passenger would have been dead.
Look where the pole is!

NO KIDDING! I was on the edge of my seat! Back and forth, back and forth...driving me nuts! OT was killer!!! We were supposed to go to that game, but called it off due to the horrible season. If they are playing well next season, we'll head up there during winter.

Mythbusters tried to split a car in half by running into a V shaped snow plow, they didn't get nearly that far!

They were trying to do it with a much wider cutting device (snow plow) and the engine was stopping the blade because they were aiming directly at the centerline of the car.

They did succeed in a later episode using a rocket powered "blade".
