Had to look it up... that's an odd accident to have. It was supposedly a journalist on a test drive. He apparently climbed the car halfway up that wall on the right side of the picture and knocked down part of the fencing.

That's one of those "I can't believe how stupid he was." accidents... which may be followed by "I can't believe how fast they fired the guy" firings.

That's the same camera they take UFO pictures with. How are we supposed to deconstruct that?

Possibly the front airdam/diverter was involved in an RUD. So what's with the corrugated areas? It looks like someone stood up in the back seat in high heels.

Okay, now the one Cd posted doesn't even look like an i8. The rocker panels are all wrong. I bet they don't even come in red.

I thought the picture suited this thread because it shows the underside of a 1992-95 Honda Civic, and it also had a bit of humor.

I should have linked the original picture, like deejaa did.

It's Okay, I'm confused most of the time anyway.

I still don't get the bumps the size of a soup bowl in the corrugations.

The i8 picture is a good look at the front air curtains.
