Yay finally after 7month of painful moths I am getting my car back, I was just talking to my panel beater today and he told me that the car should be almost ready to go on Wednesday next week. But he is still unsure of the bent titanium exhaust. But I am so happy about my car is nearly done, I lost my side skirt and mazdaspeed mirrors but now I got a big as carbon fiber gt wing and my new painted headlights.

That is way too much damage for just running thru some fence posts and fence wire.

No way......impossible.

You're saying you lost your front bumper, drivers mirror, passenger mirror, rear window, and rear bumper due to some fence posts and fencing wire?!?

It not impossible I hit a fence post and did all that damage, if you don’t believe me go throw a fence going at a fast speed.

I was very lucky that I wasn’t injured at all from this crash, or so not totaling my car. I recon if I crashed from the front I recon me and Brettus would a be dead or injured pretty badly from the fence flying throw the windscreen. However I didn’t get injured at all.

At the end I am very happy about this crash in away, no one got hurt everything I damaged can be replaced and remade again. This was a good lesson for me and I brought this on my self.
