First, I hope you're okay. Second, I'm sorry to hear about your car! it must have been a wierd angle to crush in that much.

I walked away with only some minor cuts on my head and face from the rear glass, a swolen right ankle (brake pedal) and left knee (steering wheel) and other minor bumps and bruises. I was lucky as hell.

Yeah I hope so. It's gonna be tough getting all the money for those parts from the insurance companys. I'm most worried about the new engine, I can't see much without prying off all that metal, but I know the front cover is cracked for sure, next to where the a/c mounts. I hope the e-shaft on the engine wasnt bent.

condolences. my question is whether the drivers seat was angled like that pre-wreck? or were you mad on the brake pedal?

Good observation, the seat was straight before the accident.
