We saw the carnage when the car was already loaded in the trailer.  It looked pretty bad sitting there, although Rawb swears it could all be repaired!

After reviewing the crash, I still believe that car can be fixed. I don't think
It will be easy, but I think its repairable. I'd be willing to bet that the impact was only about 45 mph or less. You'll notice that when the car went sideways it lost alot of speed. It also had traction issues that caused it to go sdeways which also shows
that it didn't achieve its capable speed. Finally it came to a rest at the 660' All of
these factors added up along with proper safety equipment is why he walked away from it.

I didn't get to get a look at the left rear. The car was already in the trailer when I saw it. I saw the front and the right side. My old 86 Grand Prix probably looked like that before I got it, and some body shop magaged to fix it. I only found out because I had found where they welded the rear section back onto the car. About 6 years ago, insurance companies wouldn't total anything. You should've seen some of the cars they managed to fix. My friends wife wrecked their Toyota Tundra Quad Cab
and they went as far as replacing the entire frame.

Saw the Febus version. Stick a fork in that car. At least the driver is OK.

Where did you find the Febus version ? I saw it on his camera, but I haven't seen it on a large screen yet.

Did he snap an axle or something? What made the right rear bite like that?

Glad he's ok. Wow
