What can I say, when you're wrong, you're wrong. I was wrong.

Got any higher rez photos of the beat up car? Would be useful for knowing which parts might still be good.

This is all I have from a camera phone. Parting imediately. Obviously body parts are out. The rear spoiler wing looks good. Motor is fine. Havent got to trans yet. Good rear wheels/calipers/brakes asms. Plenty of interior goodies, heated seats, nav sys etc. Any questions, bring'em.

Maybe hitting the ebrake is what caused you to troll...I mean roll.
Def not a t.a (trust me...i would kno...i got an unhealthy obsession w/em)
cuz hood/windshield dont look like that (angle and appearance and also looks/slope of door)

Again, glad you are ok. That looks like a terrible accident. I know how I felt when I was in mine, and it wasn't anywhere close to that one. I also learned a good bit from it.

How's the leather interior? Any of the seat airbags go off?
