Stories of Four Damaged GR Corollas Heading to Auction

The automotive world is always abuzz with excitement when a new hot hatch enters the scene.

The latest star in the spotlight is the Toyota GR Corolla, a pocket rocket that promises an exhilarating driving experience.

Yet, as with any prized possession, the inevitable has occurred – the first batch of damaged GR Corolla examples have emerged, ready to find new homes through auction platforms like Copart and IAAI.

One can’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for these once-pristine machines, now bearing the scars of accidents.

Among the quartet of GR Corollas facing their new destinies at the auction block, their stories tell a tale of unexpected twists and turns.

The first unit is a sleek black GR Corolla Core whose odometer reads a mere 2,062 miles, barely enough to break a sweat. Despite its low mileage, this car has experienced a setback, yet one that seems manageable.

With the damage confined to the rear, the prospect of a new rear bumper and taillights paints a picture of renewal. Perhaps, with a little TLC, it will once again prowl the streets with its black elegance intact.

Next up is a white Circuit Edition GR Corolla, which dons sporty features like hood vents and an audacious rear spoiler.

It’s a sight to behold, except for the unfortunate blemish – a torn passenger-side rear door skin and a rear wheel pushed out of its comfort zone.

Underneath the veneer of speed, this one’s got a case of the suspension blues. While its future might be uncertain, the possibility of revival or repurposing sparks intrigue.

Will it reincarnate as a new machine, or will its parts find new homes in other cars? Who knows?

The third GR Corolla reveals a tragic tale. The magnitude of the damage is evident, with a heavy blow to the front end being the most prominent.

The intercooler and radiator have borne the brunt of the impact, making the car’s once-potent heart now gasp for breath.

The rear isn’t spared either, with a missing bumper and a symphony of absent taillights and mufflers.

Yet, this GR Corolla seems unyielding. A daunting challenge awaits its potential savior – a true test of skill and passion.

Last in line is a Core model in North Hollywood that narrates a story of front-end devastation.

The front bumper’s fate hangs in limbo, the passenger-side quarter panel and wheel standing as silent witnesses to a tumultuous event. One door stands defiantly bent.

The prospect of repurposing it as a track car adds a twist of excitement – a chance to transform adversity into an opportunity for adrenaline-fueled triumph.

In the end, these are more than just damaged machines; they are testaments to resilience and possibilities.

As they prepare to exchange hands through the auctioneer’s gavel, they remind us that setbacks can be stepping stones, and even in the face of adversity, the spirit of innovation and passion will forever steer us forward.

Newly Purchased Honda S2000 Gets Destroyed

Sports cars are powerful vehicles, there’s no doubt about that. They may not be as brutal as supercars, but they’re still a strong performer, so they can still go wild in the wrong hands. By saying the wrong hands we mean the hands of those who have little to no expertise with them.

This incident is a good example of how dangerous a sports car can be when driven by the wrong person. Everything can go out of control in the blink of an eye.

Speeding up and down before the crash, the driver of this car was likely toying with speed a little bit. As the CCTV footage starts, it shows that the vehicle has already been out of control.

The driver is a 33-year-old man. His dangerous driving eventually caused his car to spin off the road and totally destroy a garden wall until it was stopped by a nearby lamp post. This crash happened in Humberston, Lincolnshire, England, just a few minutes after children biked on the same road.

The car is a Honda S2000 convertible that can run as fast as 150 mph. You can imagine how hard it hit that stopping point just by looking at the serious damage it sustained. Residents around the scene, meanwhile, learned that something bad had happened when they heard a shocking big bang breaking their afternoon peace.

Some of them saw bricks of the destroyed garden wall flying out “like bullets” when they rush out to see what had happened. What’s so ironic about this incident is that the Honda S2000 had only just been bought by the driver that day. In other words, it’s his new car and has already been destroyed shortly after it was purchased.

After getting out of his car and seeing all the destruction, the driver was just like, “Maybe it was a bit too powerful”. He was laughing, probably didn’t expect his car to go wild that quickly and easily. Such an unfortunate event could happen when you’re late to realize that you’re driving a sports car, a machine designed for high performance, or you underestimate them.

As we know, sports cars are made to be responsive, and their level of responsiveness may be too high for beginners, causing some noobs to think that their cars are too reactive to the input they provide; while in fact, it was them who fail to understand the right and safe dose of input.
