BEST $300 HE EVER SPENT: Fairlady rollover at Ebisu
December 1, 2008 12:30 amA grisly photo like this, when posted on the internet, is usually followed by woeful story of corners that were too wet, speeds that were too high, and insurance that is inadequate enough to cover the resulting crumped mess of oily, dirt-encrusted metal and broken glass.
This crash however, brought nothing but the kind of insane joy and laughter you can only get from crawling out unscathed from a high-speed rollover crash.
Generally, cars that are facing this direction at this point of the circuit are not going to meet a happy end. Teeth, rectums and various other clenchable body parts tighten as everyone who is about to witness the inevitable crash waits for it to be over.
Luckily, the Fairlady targa top was obviously engineered with this kind of rigorous activity in mind. Instead of deploying an airbag though, Nissan’s engineers installed a small canister of laughing gas to be released upon the event of a rollover.
Thanks to mumblezzz for standing around for two days in the rain and numbing cold, ultimately resulting in his miraculous taking of the rollover photos as well as the first video.

300 bucks here can barely buy a busted up 240sx shell

hahahah it still started
Ouch that sucks big time lucky it was a cheap thrasher bus and even better the dudes ok
that corner is brutal too i think in every video it features in theres at least one bad looking roll over crash
Gold!!!!
You didn’t mention it was automatic as well.
I didn’t, and I didn’t credit you for the action pics either.
Even 3000 bucks won’t be enough to find you a totally wrecked Z31 here. 🙁
I’ll accept my royalties in cash or blowjob form.
With the exchange rate the way it is, the second option sounds more reasonable.
Z32s are so big and heavy looking.
300$, can’t complain though!
The Z32 is not a big car trust me i own one just like this one a 2+2. It is heavier than a 240 but in my humble opinion it is also better looking.
First time poster: Alexi, can you really blame him for laughing?
If I could find a Z32 for 300 buckeroos, I’d be laughing constantly, whether crashing or not!!
BTW, as a long time jdm enthusiast and keen “japfan” I must say, wow.
Excellent site, magnificent wallpapers etc, and you sir ROCK
