This is why I get annoyed when people hide behind the "haters" defense when someone questions their build. Seriously, perhaps if instead of saying "dont want to hear from the haterzzzzz" when people said this wasnt done right this person listened the car may have been built strong enough to survive. Shitty way to go out and completely saddening to leave behind a family, a reminder whenever we modify or alter our cars to try and keep safety in mind.

Was still titled as the Civic that was cut up. Sounds like DMV had no idea of its current state.

Rip to the driver. Sad that he left behind a family, but at least nobody innocent was hurt/killed.
I’m not the best welder, but man those are some bad welds, not much penetration going on there, and no way I’d be driving something like that in the street, way to much distance between the connecting bars on that thing, very little strength there.
