For the past few months, South Eugene residents have been plagued by a backfire car that has earned a bad reputation in the area. Here, a car would drive around local neighborhoods around 4 AM while using an incredibly loud exhaust in the process. As you can imagine, this would be enough to annoy even the most patient of people which quickly gained the car a well-deserved infamous image.

Furthermore, the car also looked the part and looked as beaten up as it sounded. This included different colored doors, custom paint jobs, and generally sported a ‘worn‘ look. Yesterday however, the car was photographed as a complete wreck. Understandably, Eugene locals voiced their delight at seeing their menace in a destroyed state.

As seen, the car was not in a good way. According to the photographer, the car had crashed off the road on Fox Hollow and was left abandoned. It is not known what happened to the driver, but we can assume they got out ok. Overall, this isn’t too surprising that this car ended this way, considering the driver was known for dangerously speeding.

Speaking on social media, Eugene residents said, “Piece of trash deserves it. Hopefully, he’s not hurt but hopefully the car is totaled.” while another quipped, “Quick! Torch it so he can’t bring it back to life.”

For now at least, this marks the end of an ongoing saga where locals can now sleep easily without being hassled. However, if the driver is true to form then they may be back with a new vehicle at some point to terrorize the area once again.
