and you WALKED away?!!? Praise God hIGGI! That truly is incredible. That gives me shudders of when I t-boned a guy in my 89 n/a back in november '01. Awful stuff. And that wasn't your TII was it? I mean, the rims aren't the same and I don't see the wing on the back either. Unless you removed those things? Glad to see you made it through.

That is amazing!

Glad to see you are okay. I didn't think it was possible to total one of these cars out that badly! Shows how much the body can take and still keep you safe.

At least now you can open both doors from the driver seat.

(Just kidding)
