It'll buff out.

Sorry, had to be the first to say it. That does look pretty bad though. Can't say I've seen too many broken rims... Ugh. I don't like to see crashed 8s, makes me sad. Hope you're okay!

Yikes! my guess is he slammed into the wall to the left of the car, rear first which then bounced him to where he is sitting now, he didnt get to that position driving foreword, there are no tracks leading to it... atleast i cant tell. atleast you know all your airbags worked.

if he/she can post pics I can "assume" he/she is ok.

well, car can be replaced. I can see that the airbags are deployed. but how the F did that happen? it looks like only one side got hit. You scratch the wall or something ?

sucks another 8 gone.

That is one hell of a hit to destroy the 8 like that. You completely broke the rear axle. What an amazing amount of force, hows your health?

Sorry to see the car like that but you're ok and that's all that matters in the end.
Don't lose your temper if somebody says that it was your fault if it truly wasn't, being young and wrecking a sporty car sucks even more, everybody tends to think about the driver's irresponsibility.

That really sucks, you didn't get it that long ago either.
First time I've seen a rim cracked in half + broken rear axle/rim on the opposite site on an 8
Good luck yo!
