damn smashed, I take it the pole won. Good to hear you are alright.

Question do tucked bumpers reduce ability of car to absorb such impacts? I say YES>

[M42Technik]

Jesus.

How many does that make this season? 10?

Glad you made it out okay, you are really lucky!

That sucks :( Good thing your alive tho. My sister feel asleep at the wheel and got i a pretty bad wreck. So if your ever feeling sleepy just pull over on the side of the road and call someone or take a nap its alot better then falling asleep at the wheel :(

i believe if my bumper weren't tucked same outcome woulda happened....teh bumper flew off when it hit the pole

[kansas-ix]

In your case I believe yes you still would have broken both your ankles at MINIMUM, but in some cases I wonder if it is a factor.

[KenC]

The aluminum bumpers are designed to minimize impact at speeds of 5mph and lower.... I'd reckon he was going a bit faster.

Jesus, that is a bad wreck. I am glad you are relatively ok, you got lucky. The car should be easy to replace, didn't look like it was in that great shape.

Shi'ite. All a tucked bumper would have done is maybe resulted in 2" less of penetration.

Damn man, that is a BIG wreck.

Man that sucks. I hate to see an e30 wrecked like that. Sure am glad you are ok. It could have been much worse.

[george graves]

DAM!

Was it the front wheel that cause the injury to your feet?

[ViEtNaMeeH]

ya..my legs were trapped where the pedals were

[E30ownerwithanopinion]

I think I joke about ppl here crashing the most but seeing pictures like this scare the shit out of me.


Im sincerely glad you made out alive and figuratively kicking. Hang in there dude!

[Mystikal]

Hah, was the temp knob already broken off? For an area that didn't seem to flex, the impact must have been HARD.

Aaron, you pshoppin again? :?
