Yaris lost. Amazing picture. I agree with the opinion stated in the article....if someone had been in the car, they wouldn't have stood a chance.

Thank goodness no one was in there, I don't think it would have been pretty...
On a lighter note: I'd call this one 'Smashy'

LOL. Something tells me it's a bit too smashed for CTScott to want to do a restoration or conversion.

Yikes! That sucker is really a goner, isn't it? I'm afraid it's a bit too far gone

Again I'm really glad the car was void of people (or pets) when that mishap happened. If she had only parked on the OTHER side of the tree...

Hmm possibly the only way to destroy a Yaris barring accident!

Yes, that photo is surreal - it just amazes me...
Lots of folks had 'yard boulders' in my neighborhood where I grew up. They were pretty big, some around 3 feet across...not as big as that Yaris boulder, tho

Yes, several year ago.

Being a Toyota, it probably still runs.

Remember what Top Gear did to this old Toyota P/U? It ran after they totaled it numerous different ways. Now on permanent display in the studio.

Probably has, but I've yet to see it -
Helps keep this forum alive, and that's a good thing

I LOVE the original comments!

Wow! That's just nuts.

Holy FACK!!!!

It kind of makes a little rock chip seeem insignificant.

Cut its fuel consumption WAY down, too.

As Betrivent said, "So many anti-toyota comments in there, it's brutal. I'd like to see them toss a boulder that size on a Malibu and have it survive..."

So True, No regular production vehicle could survive a 7 'tonne' boulder landing on it - Glad it was unoccupied
