The Terminator exists and lives in China?

By Brett Davis |

No, it’s not a new SsangYong Stavic convertible prototype undergoing highway testing.

This man was recently spotted in China driving along in his truck which has, quite obviously, been in some sort of death-defying, Hollywood-style carnage. The man, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, was seen cruising along at around 80km/h with the wind in his hair on an open freeway.

Images of the truck were taken and sent to Car News China. The report says the photographer captured the mangled cabin scooting along near Desheng in south China.

Even though it’s smashed almost beyond recognition, the truck somehow manages to drive just fine. Apparently, the cabin took the brunt of the previous accident. It’s unknown if a driver was in the truck during the crash. We certainly hope not.

The report also says that the owner could be intending to swap the cabin from another truck onto this chassis to provide a bit more, umm, weather protection.

    The amazing thing is the truck is still running :)

    • Paul

      It’s that massive new cold air intake at the front that’s making it run so well :)

    Moral of the story:

    NEVER light your own farts whilst driving…

  • Torque

    It looks like it started off as one of those Chinese Scania copies that they intend to sell here soon. I think they are two up driving and one is resting in the air condtioned sleeper cab.

  • john

    this is what happens when you hit a great wall. Note the driver remains uninjured, the vehicle is drivable and only the windshield shattered. importantly the fluffy dice were recovered from the scene. now for a demonstration of the side impact test…..

  • Sumpguard

    It should be taken off the road until he pays his rego.

  • Altezza

    Are you sure this was not done by the same boys who cut the Maybach? (joking)

  • Dragan

    Clearly it’s a VOLVO!!

  • Karl

    It’s alright, those dents will buff out.

  • Wayne Kerr

    When police tried to arrest him, he melted into a pool of liquid metal and vanished.

  • Eric

    I think the damage will polish out.

  • Shak

    All these witty comments are brilliant, but i for one want to know how in the hell this happened, and how its still running!

  • UniversityOfGoogle

    Resale price should be interesting ;)

  • Jono Hoang

    ‘No, it’s not a new SsangYong Stavic convertible prototype undergoing highway testing’- LMAO, you guys crack me up!

  • scatman

    I read elsewere he drove the truck into Tiananmen Square and was run over by a tank

  • chugs

    I like the dudes sunnies, and if you look really hard you can see a pump action shotgun on the seat next to him.

    Definitely wouldn’t want to be John (a’la 李) Conner with that badass after me.

  • Jeb

    No seatbelt? You would go to jail for 1000 years in Australia for that, don’t worry about the majority of the cabin missing. Also, who let him leave the scene of the accident with that abomination?
