GOFAST GUY is on a distinguished road
Rear Ended at 70kms/hr in my 4.6is

You hear about things happening in slow motion but you really have no idea what is ment by that until you go through it.
Here are some pics of the damage.





I had enough time after I saw the guy about 2 car lengths behind me to turn the wheel and punch it before inpact. By me doing that, I missed hitting the car in front of me that i noticed had 2 children in the back seat. The corner of his bumper slammed into the center of my bumper while i was at an angle to him. My vehicle was sent flying into a curb that bent one of my front wheels. There was roughly $20,000 damage done to the X5 and the van was a total write off. The roof of the van actually buckled and the drive side door was also pushed back more then an inch trapping him in the vehicle. He had insurance and I easily walked away unharmed. My quarter panels are fine and my roll out deck works fine also. Where the spare tire is, there was no visible damage but the exhaust system was screwed. I had just waxed it and taken some pics about a week prior.
