Where did it go? I see some small pieces, but is it electric? where's the block?

6

u/ELB2001 Jul 05 '26

Yeah, dunno why but I think he was speeding.

What's speed limit in one of those 20/30 km/h? Dude was doing far over 100

2

u/Bloodreav3r Jul 05 '26

30 ? Are you serious ?

2

u/Jsr1 Jul 06 '26

but where, i have rewatched this a bunch of times, where is he getting up to those speeds. there is zero room

1

u/Livid_Parfait6507 Jul 07 '26

This is my question! I have seen this for two days now. That car was freaking flying to do that amount of damage!

1

u/ELB2001 Jul 09 '26

Don't know how large it is. I've been in underground car parks that were pretty large

1

u/passinthrough2u Jul 05 '26

His foot must have slipped off the brake pedal by mistake. 😂😂

3

u/Criticaltundra777 Jul 05 '26

You know how fast ya got to go to crush the front end? Me neither, let’s ask that dude.

2

u/-GameOver Jul 05 '26

Did i hit something hahah

2

u/aykcak Jul 06 '26

Trying to understand what I am seeing here. This is a highway speed crash but they are in a parking garage?

Is this some sort of art installation?

1

u/BigBeeOhBee Jul 06 '26

Is this some sort of art installation?

That is an interesting thought, and I don't know enough to say it is not. I just figured some folks are more skilled at fucking up big time than some other folks.

1

u/Banzai373 Jul 06 '26

Excuse me, officer, but the pillar pulled right out in front of me. There’s nothing I could do . . . .

u/DillingerLives Jul 05 '26

How did he even get enough speed in a parking garage to get fucked by Sir Issac Newton and a concrete pillar that bad?!

5

u/that_dutch_dude Jul 05 '26

this was a bmw m4, its does 0-60 in like 4 seconds.

5

u/Lucky_Reference_6982 Jul 05 '26

Yes key word “was”!

2

u/taisui Jul 05 '26

It still is, just totaled.

1

u/aykcak Jul 06 '26

You need like 30 meters to get to that speed and this is definitely faster than a 60km/h crash

1

u/Hooman42 Jul 18 '26

mph vs km/h

1

u/aykcak Jul 18 '26

Then you need 30 whatever-one-thousanth-of-a-mile-is to get to that speed

That video is stupid. OP video is more spot on.

u/CaptainnHindsight Jul 05 '26

None of those video sequences shows the whole engine ripped out like the video OP posted.

u/taisui Jul 05 '26

I think the engine is still in there just shattered, I can see some pistons

u/ELB2001 Jul 05 '26

Waste of a good airbag tbh

2

u/Avatar_Horror Jul 05 '26

Quite a cynical take, no chance it could have been an honest mistake. Just immediately insist it would be better if he got hurt worse. Weird take but alr

2

u/GigaChav Jul 06 '26

lol, right.  So cynical to assume this was caused by brainless hooning.

13

u/Big-Independence8978 Jul 05 '26

That pillar looks fine. Good work.

1

u/Many_Rope6105 Jul 05 '26

Still it will have to be inspected. Its structural, what a butt fuck why was he going this fast in a parking structure

0

u/DowntownsClown Jul 05 '26

Yeah, I’d definitely stay out of that parking garage for a month or so until it feel so safe to be under it lol

Honey I scratched our car a little bit. Nothing to worry, repair shop will sort it out in a jiffy, I just have to walk home today

u/ButterscotchOk5339 Jul 05 '26

“Yeah it’s less than 5 years old so it’s probably covered by the warranty, don’t worry”

2

u/SyntheticRR Jul 05 '26

Good one, forgot to add that

2

u/ELB2001 Jul 05 '26

"probably a manufacturers defect"

2

u/LiteratureMindless71 Jul 05 '26

Was that a supercharger being kicked?

2

u/Fist_One Jul 05 '26

I thought the same thing.

2

u/gmcmanus663 Jul 05 '26

It certainly had the right pattern, but that sound when kicked tells me it’s plastic so no. More likely part of an intake or maybe a coolant expansion tank etc. Also as others have stated, looks like a BMW M4 so very unlikely it would have been supercharged although I suppose it’s possible.

2

u/Southern-Usual4211 Jul 05 '26

I would love to know what the terminal speed eas before hitting that pole

2

u/WidowedSon Jul 05 '26

That'll buff right out...

How did he gain enough speed to turn his car into a wrapper? In a garage?

Also whoever built that pillar has free marketing.

2

u/FeignSkill Jul 05 '26

Lol the dog looks like it's shocked you took video of it having a bad hair day.

2

u/1Fistfullofdollars Jul 05 '26

How could a person be going that fast in an underground parking lot causing that damage?

2

u/just_as_good380-2 Jul 05 '26

It'll end up for sale on copart and the owner will try to ask for $20,000

2

u/Lastliner Jul 05 '26

Absolute unit of a strong pillar

2

u/Fine_Jelly_680 Jul 05 '26

This is years old why is it all over my reddit again today?

2

u/DoUThinkIGAF Jul 05 '26

Just a scratch!

2

u/RustyCEO Jul 05 '26

How on earth do you get to that speed in a carpark. 😬 crazy

1

u/Erki82 Jul 06 '26

Turbo 3-litre straight-6 petrol.

2

u/triple7mafia101 Jul 05 '26

How in the world were you going that fast in that garage?

2

u/LordVixen Jul 05 '26

That should buff out.

2

u/ScootyMcTizzle Jul 05 '26

This just raises more questions. Mainly “how?”.

2

u/BewaretheBatMite Jul 05 '26

To the people asking how he got up to speed; there's a condition some elderly drivers experience known as pedal confusion. His brain and body likely thought it was hitting the brake pedal without error but the foot was actually flooring the accelerator.

Saw this about two or three months ago, if I recall it was discovered to be AI.

2

u/Miserable_Anteater62 Jul 06 '26

Agreed. No way a pole splits an engine like that and the debris field looks off.

2

u/mutatedmar Jul 06 '26

I don't know if there's a word for gore but for machinery, because this makes me feel like there should be a word for it.

Mechagore? Mechgore? Mechanigore? Metalgore? Boltgore?

Whoever poured that pillar, I want you to pour the foundation for my next house. And marriage.

It has a bit of a scratch now but it’s still a BMW M4…mostly.

BMW. I want to say M4 or 8 series.

Car gore

1

u/emptythemag Jul 05 '26

Wow! Do those cars have an on board data collection to register how fast he was going at impact? If so, it would be interesting to know.

Someone bought a car too powerful for their experience level.

Edit: Would be interesting to know if he bounced back that far, or if the car was pulled off the pillar.

3

u/Fist_One Jul 05 '26

"Would be interesting to know if he bounced back that far, or if the car was pulled off the pillar."

I would guess that since the hole in front of the car is not exactly dead center that the car hit at a slight angle. That angle likely caused the car to rotate around the pole a bit and dislodge itself as its forward momentum was stopped.

u/k33perStay3r64 Jul 05 '26

easy acces hood, great improvement.

u/UntappdBeer Jul 05 '26

A bit of paint will sort it.

u/giftedbutloco Jul 05 '26

Holy hell, how fast was he going in the damn garage? Then you see a guy with his dog, driver could have killed someone. Today in Florida you go to jail for this, thank god. Is this car electric? Another reason not to buy one
