This Teenager Bought A Nissan Skyline And Almost Immediately Crashed It
When you’ve just bought a new car - particularly if you’re young and inexperienced - it pays to be a little careful while you get used to the way it drives. However, a 17-year-old Australian guy clearly thought he knew better, as he ended up crashing into a house in Darch - a suburb of Perth - only an hour before taking the keys to an R33 Nissan Skyline.
We’ve no idea how he managed it given all that ‘run-off’, but at the very least the car and house don’t look to be too badly damaged. According to WA Today, the crash happened at 11.30am last Thursday, when the house was empty. The local fire department was called in to clean up the mess, and the car was later towed away for repairs.

AAAAAAALL WHEEEEEEEL DRIIIIIIIVE!!!
It’s actually RWD, only GT-R’s are all wheel drive, hence why many standard model skylines are used as drift pigs in straya
Look at the lawn, look at the garden and look at the front of the car. Do you know what I see? NO DAMAGE OR EVIDENCE OF THE CAR CROSSING THE GRASS!!!!!
How the heck did he crash it an hour before he got the keys?
DOC F@CKED UP SOMEHOW
How does a 17 year old even get insurance for an R33?
Parents are allowed to help lol!
Uh, #poorskyline
How did he crash the car he bought an hour ago, an hour before getting the keys??????
When I buy myself a new car (especially a performance-oriented one) it probably takes a week or two before I decide to go full throttle for the first time
Seems like for a lot of people that 1-2 week period shrinks to 1-2 minutes after purchase
A week is a bit too much..maybe wait unitl you find an open road or something.
I’m more towards two weeks for a daily driven performance vehicle myself. Don’t want to screw up, and start ruining it already.
What parent in their right mind would let a kid have an R33 as their first car?
My parents were going to let me get a 650hp 80s mustang when i was 16 but it ended up being sold before i could get it… Shows how much my parents loved me lmao
