I just got T-Boned coming home tonight.



You got hit with MUCH less force, and farther back than I did...but you
definately bumped your head on the window bud...for sure.  Glad you are ok
man...but the car is definately totaled.  Looks like you glanced off the
front of her car...very glad (considering your speed) that YOU didn't
t-bone HER...would have been MUCH worse.

Does it have knock sensing ignition?  If so, I'll take the whole system if
you part the car out.

Reminder of what MY audi looked like:
