What's the price of an alphard? This one looks a little old but I'd imagine in the $50k+ range

Apparently a new one top spec is around $200,000.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I feel many Khmers can't keep up with transport evolution.

Re: Alphard Driver Damages Multiple Shopfronts
Usually I am quite good in reconstructing of how the accidents happened by using the provided pictures, but this time I am a bit clueless. The vector of the damage is clearly from right to left (on the pictures), the main impact of the car was at the front left. Both fit so far, but what does not fit in any way is the place where the car came to a stop, aiming with a barely damaged back to the shops. The roof is unscratched, so the vehicle didn`t flip.
The only explanation I have is, that he hit the shops with the very right front of the vehicle in a 45° angle (or more) and the car did a 245° turn. It would fit somehow, since the right side has close to no damage, but the rear axle is bent to the front of the vehicle (i assume that happened when the rear axle hit the curb, but how? The car is positioned clearly in the wrong orientation for that) and the scratch traces of the stone, that got caught under the vehicle, somehow does not fit this theory as well.
Amazing sidenote is, that the mobile food stall didn't topple over by the sudden acceleraton and just rolled away a bit bent

Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over
