Isn't that the same one that had 5 young guys in (borrowed their dad's car) and 4 were killed?

If you look the car is actually in two pieces

Were they trying to insinuate the Golf had something to do with their deaths because it snapped in 2?

Prolly what happened to mine after It was stolen

No. Without digging out the article IIRC the car was being driven at very high speed in a built up area and losing control it hit the tree with enormous force and deceleration - no car could survive a side on impact of that magnitude. Driver error and an immovable object - only one winner.

Jeeeeeeeeeesus.... look at the way the door is literally wrapped around the tree.

I remember this being posted even before a mkvi GTI was around in the UK

What got me about the pictures above was how small the tree was. If you think of the force required to destroy the car like that, and then look at the relatively thin trunk of the tree...
