Guy in kent.. just bought the blinged out 3rd gen.. and parks it on a tree That sucks.

KENT, Wash. - An out-of-control driver parked his red sports car halfway up a tree Sunday evening.

Neighbors said the driver of the Mazda RX-7 bought the car the same day.

Witnesses said the driver was speeding in excess of 70 mph down Woodland Way around 8 p.m. when he lost control on a curve

Pictures show a slight berm, which may have helped launch the car nine feet up the tree. The car came to rest in a nearly vertical position against the tree.

Incredibly, the driver of the car had only minor injuries.

Its a 94 or 95, you can tell cause the pass side airbag went off, 93's dont have a pass side airbag.

At least the tree came away with a scratch. Im thinking that he might have been able to control the drift "if" he had a rear wing.
