J.G. Ballard - CRASH (1973)
J. G. Ballard - Crash - Wikipedia
The book explores themes such as the transformation of human psychology by modern technology, and consumer culture's fascination with celebrities and technological commodities. The human characters in the novel are cold and passionless, unable to become sexually excited unless some kind of technology is involved (typically architecture and cars). The gruesome damage inflicted on car-crash victims is not seen as shocking, but as the liberation of new sexual possibilities that have yet to be explored, such as in one scene where a man and a woman have sex in a car that was involved in an accident, but rather than have vaginal sex, he penetrates a wound on her thigh that she received in the crash. Finally, the book asks why we, as an enlightened society, accept such a “perverse technology” – that kills a vast number of people yearly – as such an integral part of our culture.
Ballard writes in the foreword: “Do we see, in the car-crash, the portents of a nightmare marriage between technology, and our own sexuality? … Is there some deviant logic unfolding here, more powerful than that provided by reason?”

This ruined someone's day.
I wish the story of what the car was doing on a transporter was with the photo, and what caused it to go over the front end, but the world may never get closure on this mystery. Damn shame it happens and wrecks a cool car and a group of people's day. The owner, the driver, the insurance guy, and the potential new owner if there was one.

when your rear wheel parts company with your race car and passes you in the turn, it must be Monday
Photo from http://5window.tumblr.com/ I think, it might have been http://motomania.tumblr.com/ ... I can't recall.
Funniest photo I've seen all day. While I'm on the topic; overheard at the car show today " this girl asked if she could get in my Minerva, so I said "Sure go ahead".. and waited til she was halfway in, and then said "I'm sure the owner won't mind . . . " and she freaked out.
