My mind immediately goes to a low-speed rear-ending which I witnessed ~2008. It was summer, the at-fault vehicle contained several teen boys, and right next to it (on the driver's side) was a convertible (top down) containing several attractive and attention-seeking teenage girls. The most advanced "technology" involved was probably a tube top.
