Wrecked Exotics Reveals "Brutal" Gallery
I consider the Wrecked Exotics website something of a public service: warning supercar owners that money does not immortality make. OK, you can’t really call exotic car owners “the public.” So how about this: the site may convince supercar owners to drive more carefully, which could stop them from smashing the obscure objects of our desire, reducing the number of supercars available for sale. (Plan for success I say.) Alternatively, Wrecked Exotics could be seen as particularly nasty car porn: supercar snuff snaps. Any way you look at it, the majority of these 47 photos of hard core horror stories do NOT involve supercar slammage. It’s mainstream carnage, plain and simple. And all of them are damn hard to look at. You have been warned.

Although I can think of many good reasons to show these photos in public, when I see a post like bolhuijo's it makes me wonder at what price to the victim's family and friends. If I lost a loved one in a car accident, and then saw the gory photos being peddled on the internet as cheap entertainment, I'd want somebody's ass in a sling.
@cnyguy That would be Jeff Spicoli you would be thinking of. We really do react relatively to danger. I was once seated at a curbside table, a restaurant in LA, and we got royally told off by the people at the adjacent table, because we were smoking cigars. "Are you trying to kill us???" Meanwhile, huge cars were zipping past us, no more than two-three feet away. I'm still amazed that I can drive along with relatively few worries, on a road without a divider, while my own car and the ones flashing past me achieve a potential combined momentum of 90+90 km/h x our weights. People probably spend more time worrying about asteroids hitting the planet than thinking about the consequences of the guy in the other vehicle nodding off.
@Tyler D Thanks for the update... haven't checked that site in years. @Stein X Leikanger That seems similar to a custom in this country. When a person dies in a road, they usually build a very small altar with a virgin or saint inside. And every year, they put flowers and candles into it. It's a common sight in Venezuela's (my country) roads.
