    And the moral of the story is: don't watch anime while driving.

    have you guys noticed that most of the decals are unscathed? even the one on the hood looks to be in good shape. Unless he had one on the side that were completely crush. I have to hand it to the guy, he managed to save most of the decals. he can actually have those parts taken off and either keep them or put them on his next Colt.

    As long as it didn't break the engine block or transmission case its not that hard of a repair. She should be back on the road in no time!

    Really? I am a fully qualified Pannel beater (meaning I fix cars for a living). I have fixed far worse than that.

    He was probably going like what 40 km/h when he hit a hairpin.

    Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I'm more surprised that the officer recognized the character...

    No you're not. I've seen the actual report of this...the conversation between the driver the the officer was indeed quite interesting.

    The report mentioned the officer 'enquired few things about what the hell is ita-sha', but what actually happened was most likely just the officer (who already know exactly what ita-sha is) and the driver had a nice talk on the topic of ita-sha.

    Oh poor kagamiku. He was probably trying to drift and lost control. Funny that the police officer knew about miku at least.

    Well, typical car crash I'd say. Nothing big to fret about. Besides what appears to be 2 custom paint jobs, or possible decals, you could replace everything on this car cheap. And on a damn better looking one than that.

    Most everything (again, besides the sides)appears to be simple vinyl decals. If he actually had these made from a private seller or made them himself, these wouldn't be more than a hundred US dollars.

    Though, I'm just lucky enough to own a plotting machine for doing stuff like that. Last thing I did was make a nice Etna stencil for the side of my computer tower. Dunno what to put on my car yet.

    To the driver, I only have THIS [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kWyWSVV31U] to say:-

    "Yukkuri to shiteitte,
    yukkuri shiteitte, ne,
    yukkuri to shiteitte,
    shiteitte, shiteitte, ne!"

    Alas, the fact that he crashed indicates he didn't have THIS in his stereo playlist. FAIL.

    I kinda feel sorry for him. But this kinda made me glad that there is no snow in my country.

    1.6 million Yen, that's 17,208.00 USD - why could they not repair the car for less cost than that?!

    Are repair costs in Japan artificially-inflated?

    Is there a deal, or pressure, or some cultural factor that causes Japanese insurance companies to "write off" a car and pay for a new one (or fraction of a new one, to the limit of the policy), rather than to pay for repairs?

    In my experience, FWD cars are easier to control (and more fun) in snow than RWD; I can't say about AWD, but I've seen AWD vehicles in ditches and stuck in muddy fields - the owners of those vehicles seemed to believe AWD gave them god-like powers, or something.

    I feel a bit sorry for the guy, but "Intial D" is not real life.

    Custom paint if that was painted on and not stickers probably cost him more then the car.
    It looks like one of those cheap little cars you can get for $12K USD new.
    He must have been going fairly fast to make it through/over the crash barrier so yes the frame is probably bent.
    Usually when you have a drop off at the side of a road you have to first make it past a fairly substantial rail before you can fall off the side.
    He's very lucky to have not been seriously injured.
    Just better hope his insurance has accident forgiveness.

    If you know Azumanga Daioh you could be disappointed, because it is pretty the same. But if not and if you like comedy stuff, you could go for it. I enjoyed it, and I know Azumanga Daioh.

    Lucky Star is a second-rate Azumanga Daioh, differentiated from the actual good slice-of-life serious only by otaku cultural masturbation in the form of endless in-jokes, quips about Aya Hirano (LOL SHE VOICED HARUHI SUZUMIYA TOO, GAIZ!), and moe bullshit.

    K-ON is just shit. 'Nuff said.

    it's more like:
    if you can get most if not all of the otaku culture in-jokes, this show is absolutely hilarious.
    if not, go watch some more other stuff first before you come back to it.

    Lucky Star is like Azumanga Genshiken... so it's awesome if you're geeky enough to get the jokes.

    I'm not 100% sure, but the tires tread look a bit like summer tires... or the tread is at least uncommon for winter tired. May be they were all-weather tires, which is also a bad choice for a weather like in the photos shown.

    It also think it is the Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 (4Zyl 16V Engine) due to the price of ~12000 EUR. Pretty good running car for this engine class. I hope for him, that he was fully insured, so that he gets part of the money back, even if this accident was his fault.
    He should get the 1.5 turbo and a set of good tired and a driver training then additionally ^^

    I don't think the turbo is a good choice for the poor chap...

    Mostly likely he went hod-dogging with his car. Do so in winter, and it's into the ditch, especially a car like that one.

    Perhaps if he had a Nissan (Skyline) GT-R or a Mitsubishi Evo he'd be a bit luckier.

    uhm i think no... you cannot defeat physics, even with 4WD and electronics AND skill.
    The moment you notice that you're too fast you're simply too fast ;)

    Ah and those cars are like 300~500kg heavier than a Colt.

    The Skyline GT-R was known to "defy the laws of physics" as Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear put it. Even Nissan heavily promotes driving their latest GT-R in the snow.

    And let's not forget the WRC Rally racers, some of them racing even in the snow. (it does explain why drivers from Finland, which is snow covered for at least half a year, are among the world's best drivers)

    True, even a FWD with proper snow tyres can outperform a 4WD with all season tyres, assuming his Colt was a FWD model...
