Post car crash (not graphic)

I was driving home yesterday (southbound I295) and saw a car smashed into a tree on the northbound side, with rescue vehicles just arriving. I got off the highway for a short stop, and when I went to get back on this is what I saw.

Looking at that car, maybe it is best he wasn't wearing his belt and was thrown from it. There's barely any car left!

Aftermarket rims on a car make it "tricked"? On a 1987 Honda?

Charcoal gray was a standard color on Hondas in the 1980s.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was a Jetta and the story is wrong. I think those are late 80s Jetta rims and color.

Check but not Mate - that's either European or highly customized itself.

I think I was remembering the rims from a Wolfsburg edition Jetta, which aren't identical:
