As usual, a little quick detail with some microfiber and that will clean right up.

Passenger compartment appears to have held up well, hopefully the occupant(s) was not seriously injured. Wow there is a piece of brake rotor that broke right off, and the engine was thrown clear from the vehicle.

Did you just join Rennlist yesterday? That would explain why you didn't see this thread that we were discussing two days ago.

I love the fact that some things never change despite a prolonged absence.

Actually, Ben was really nice. If I had seen this first, given the same thing was posted here less than a week ago, I would have used the biggest font and the baddest words.

What a testament to how well the autobahn is engineered for the highest level of saftey as well as the safety of the car that PAG builds. That wreck on the interstates? Not the same result.

You missed the point altogether. The real motivation behind all of this search foolishness is building post count. Somehow that tends to inflate ego!

LV, if you go to the original post from a few days ago, we've determined that its not actually on the autobahn.

True,...if you look closely at the overpass, there is a sign reading "Next Exit: XXX All Nude."

You are obviously really tuned in to our forum averaging about 1 post per month. Thanks for clarifying the social dynamics at play here.
