SUCKS :cry

thanks for the kind words guys. I need it.. I had just switched to liability 2 weeks before

The fact that I sit all the way back as the seat will go, and lean in almost over the center console...those two factors saved my *** too. Just thought about that today

Im going to post up another picture of the frame later

You lucky bro. I've picked up cars with less damage than that and the owners went away in a supersize zip lock bag, identical hit.

Yea man. I think about that how easy it is to be killed in a car now. Its kinda hard to drive now kinda scary

I was thinking about a rollcage, but I think it would have just broken several ribs and made me get hurt a lot worse.

I have seen lots of f-body crashes where, in any other car, they would have died. Our cars are TOUGH
