If thats the other driver standing in front of his car on the tow truck I'm hardly surprised....

Yep, i was thinking it too hahaha

But glad you're okay dude, i was in an accident the other, rear ended in DANDENONG (melbournians will know) when i was doing, um, 0km/h; stopped at a traffic light. of course the guy was foreign and driving a hotted up skyline, i have a few scratches on my rear bumper, whereas his front bumper is half mangled, i wonder who won that battle?
but they sure do build em tough :)

there is NO WAY that was an 80k hit. after deceleration i doubt itd be much more than 40 ish. im not trying to call you out, but the screen isnt damaged and the sill hasnt been touched i think you probably underestamate your speed at the impact, which is prolly why the bags didnt deploy. plus i guess the other car is softer than a brick wall so it deadened the impact a bit. main thing is you are ok anyway.



but yeah, how surprising the owner of the other car ey ;)

Ok, so at the time of the crash i was going 73km.
Just getting the video up now. Its kinda sketchy, tried to recover it as much as possible.

Alot of the impact was taken by the other guy.

Ari with those videos theyre htiing an imovable oblect he would have punted that car sideways which would have decreased the decceleration.


Glad your alright mate have to say its unlikely to eb a right off maybe time to trade it in when repaired?

they even cut the front crumple rails and welded new ones on, was not happy. good luck with it though.

You would be surprised at how a chassis tail replacement can go. I had one done in my ute and never had any issues. It would take an alignment with no dramas and never scrubbed tyres.
