Im guessing this is were my muffler went up into the bumper
Image

Cattails got jammed into trim. Even into door lock and window seels
Image

Exhaust wrapped around rear subframe
Image

This is the stick that I'm thinking went thru my floor, haven't looked to close yet.
Image

Its hard to tell, but the whole rim looks bent out, like when you lower your car without ajusting the suspension.
Image

headlight is broke and sticking out
Image


All in all, it should have been way worse. It still runs and I did drive it on and off the trailer. The coolent system is leaking all over so will need to get that fixed for sure. Dont know what I should do with it. Yank the motor and trans then make a 1 seat tube chassis rally car 8)

You are a complete idiot if you were driving 140mph EVER in that car.

Much less over 90mph with the current weather and road conditions.

I finally got my garage cleaned out and car in, just waiting for it to melt so I can see what it will take to fix it if I go that route.

I mean this in the best way possible. You are a fucking idiot if you are sticking up for his actions.

And no krypto, we don't all do it.

Yup I don't even trust driving over 65 in the weather these past couple days. Jeez, I wanted to see how that bumper would have looked painted.

I call B.S. @ 140mph

Saying you crashed it @ 140 is a better story then blaming it on your "brother in law". Its to hard to tell people you crashed it putting along at 30mph, talking to your mother on the celly, and not taking into account the icy conditions.

:lol:


In all seriousness, if you were going 140........ somebody upstairs was watching out for you.

UMM JUST FOR THE RECORD. MY LICENSE IS SUSPENDED AND MY BRO IN LAW WAS DRIVING ME FOR WORK WHERE THEY KNOW I AM (and we have been pulled over 4 times in that area since it started). SO, IF ANYONE WANTS TO CALL ME A FUCKING LIAR, PM ME AND I'LL GIVE YOU MY ADDRESS SO YOU CAN COME SAY IT TO MY GODDAMN FACE.
