Sorry to hear about this but glad you're ok.
 
Speaking from personal experience I'm still not fully recovered from my VX crash.
 
I wasn't hurt at all and the damage wasn't as bad as this. In fact mine was very similar to the SSSF video on YouTube.
 
However the thing that has got me is that I don't know why it happened. I wasn't pushing my luck, no diesel, leaves or excessive water. Because I can't identify the cause I can't put it to bed. In reality it is like most incidents/accidents. They're caused by many small factors aggregating in a way that they don't normally. Normally you get away with it and then out of the blue this sort of thing happens.
 
What stays with me the most is when I got home after it my wife said to me "well it's gone now and you're ok so I can say this...I'm glad it's gone, those cars are deathtraps and it was an accident waiting to happen".

 

 

first dibs on the lights , lolz

Just seen this what a fecking spectacular bump absolutely lucky to be posting it up dude! Sobering when you see the pics of the elise that the young lad from CN's want so lucky in which looks nowhere near as bad. Time to buy a lottery ticket!

Ouch!! Good to hear your ok though, that crash barrier should never have lifted up and over like it has.

When restoring Vx , it kills me trying find parts an travelling country to get them .

I bet the VX numbers have dropped more so over the last year than the 2 years before that.

 

Always sad this time of year

I just think its crazy we can use something else such as due to price

How were the new headlight covers group buy going ? 

 

 

[siztenboots]

as a cheap source for some of the light projectors you could cannibalize those to build the Fezzasus lights

Can always use something, if you're prepared to do the work.

Some form of Pug headlight

Quite like that. Gives it a nice feminine look.
