Back in the early 90s my brother, a new driver, was driving my dad's 900 turbo on a wet road at 60mph, dodged a plastic bag on the road, spun out, and went into the trees. Totaled the car, dented every body panel, and snapped a ten-inch-diameter tree like a toothpick by ramming through it with his driver-side door. Only injury: passenger had a cramp in his calf from pressing his feet so hard into the floorboard as they spun through the trees.
