Was driving up Kuykendahl in N. Houston on my way to work, about 50 mph. Driver in a Jetta (Wolfgang) took a left turn right in front of me, right through both lanes. I swerved hard right to avoid her and somehow managed to avoid a couple of painful looking polls and ended up smacking that fence. Then TT went boom
My guess is that curb ripped up the bottom something fierce (airbags deployed). Had I had a fire extinguisher I surely could have put the fire out when it was but a wee spark.
Ironically, my Prius car keys were on the key chain, so I couldn't drive that car either until getting it towed in and re-keyed.
After pics are here:

So much for my brand new, just-installed convertible top.
I really think that turn would not have happened in my other car. At that speed, both of us might have been toast.
RIP lil' TT

WOW !!!! sorry to see that happent o a nice car...
been thru that area - too many lanes, too much traffic
Did you catch the idjut that caused it ?
Good thing you weren't in the other car....
300 volts of electricity coursing through you versus a bit of smoke and a bit of running !
