This Teenager Bought A Nissan Skyline And Almost Immediately Crashed It

A 17-year-old in Australia crashed an R33 Skyline into a house, apparently only an hour after buying it

17 Oct 2016

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.

*an hour after taking the keys

As a West Australian I feel ashamed that we have muppets like this on the road :/

I know right, It’s bloody dreadful, they really need to improve driver training here. I’m lucky my instructor taught me defensive driving, saved my ass a few times from the idiots on the roads.

Would have been impounded and everyone has to wait additional 5 years to import a 25 year old car if this was America.

“ended up crashing into a house in Darch - a suburb of Perth - only an hour BEFORE taking the keys to an R33 Nissan Skyline.”

Sounds like when i were looking for a car and met a guy who told me that the last time he sold a car the new owner accidently put in the reverse and wreaked the rear bump
