Not sure. I found out from the police there that the driver did not make it out alive. That is a pic right before I pulled it up on my tow truck.

Dibs on the 5-lug parts and the steering wheel (assuming there's no people juice on it).

EDIT: Steering wheel looks toast.

I went over 5 times in a turbo II, walked away with minor cuts and bruises. FC's are built like tanks.

Seeing pictures of that pancaked T-Vert is exactly why I immediately started shopping for Roll Bars for mine.

I've been driving long enough to stop calling them "accidents" and instead prefer to use the term "collision". 99.9% of the time the "accident" is totally preventable and is due to human incompetence/stupidity/laziness.

but that .1% will bite you in the ***. my gf despises using shoulder belts and i hate it, knowing sometimes no matter how careful you are sometimes you cannot avoid some things.

ever had a deer run out in front of your car on an empty road in the middle of the night? yeah, good luck with that... now try that on a motorcycle.

i've also seen cars get clipped from behind by drunk drivers.

Murphy's law is my law.

I've actually had the deer happen many times and because I've been paying attention, noticing when the signs say "Animal Crossing" and was taught by my driving instructor to steer first and brake only if there are no other options, I've never hit one. In fact I've been in a stupid number of collisions and all have been due to other drivers.
