Default Squished Insight pics

A local wrecker has started posting old pics of wrecked insights they are parting out. This one seemed particularly ugly:









Only 38k miles. Most of the parts appear to be sold already. I wonder what fell onto this poor little car.

Here is the ad:

I think a tree fell on it, since the air bags didn't blow.

A tree would be my guess as well. Very sad to see one in this condition.

Yeah, a tree falling on it makes a lot of sense. It's too pristine in other areas for it to have been an actual driving accident.
