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

Witnesses said if not for the tree, the car would have ended up inside the living room of the nearby home.

Na the car was scared of the driver from his abuse.The only way to stop him is by hugging the tree.lol Man that sucks, But i'm glad the tree was there, if not he could of kill some one if it went into someone's crib.

that was me! it's all good though, i'll probably just sell it as it sits to a junk yard since i already have a new one sitting in my garage. my new one is silver and running a single turbo and front mount intercooler setup. my parents didn't tell me how much it cost them, but they just told me to be more careful this time!
