Default Honda S2000 in a ditch

^ Is this anyone on here?? Hope you are OK



Photographer quote:
I took this photo yesterday around 6:30 PM at Lake Merced in San Francisco. I'm not sure how, but the spikey-haired, overly-gelled owner of this S2000 managed to massively oversteer around a corner, hop not only over the sidewalk but a 4 foot wide bike path, a dirt pedestrian path and then several feet down this embankment to rest at the shore of the lake. For you non-Californians, that brush is mostly poison oak which will just add to this driver's embarrassment. There were about 8 police cars present and a tow truck driver who was literally scratching his head.

Question: Was he driving top-up? or did he put the top-up later?

All said, it is sad that another fine example is wrecked. Hoping the owner is OK.

Better in the weeds than into (or off of) a cliff/guard rail. Hope the guy is okay.

That's funny, I thought it was the early models that were supposed to be twitchy and unpredictable.
