Was traveling about 40-45 miles an hour when the back end kicked out on the gravel (speed limit sign only in effect when flashing) The door V'd in and bruised my leg on impact and my head hit the roof where the window meets the seal....but I was relatively uninjured and drove the car home and then 15 miles to the bodyshop. It tracked fine and aside from the exterior damage you would never have know it was wrecked as far as handling and performance went. Most people were amaized at how well it withstood the hit concidering the telephone poll broke in two. I'll post a few more pics.

Whats the story with the outer skin on the doors? I have noticed in a couple of the crashes it is off the door! Does it come off?? Or is it cut out/damaged?

The bodyshop cut the outer skin on the door off to see what needed replacing inside....during the estimate process.
