Holy crap. I never guessed it would be that bad. All I can say is the car did it's job, and absorbed the impact properly, saving you from real injury. Good thing you don't drive a small car. That is a huge shame to see your car in that state though, particularily since I was still amazed at how great it was looking. Hope all goes well with finding your new daily

Whooaa.. definately go buy that lotto ticket. I didnt think the damage would be THAT bad man. Looked soooo good at Lysterfield the other week.
Good to see your ok though, and hopefully the next car will be up to the same standard
