Actually, Vinnie is right.  You walked away.  A chunk of metal is a chunk of metal.

This is what was left of my saturn after my accident in highschool. I
managed to roll it at 70 mph. It proceeded to roll for an
indeterminate amount of times (it was all a blur) and finally landed
sideways across the road passenger side door down on the pavement.
Thank god I was was wearing my seat-belt, otherwise i would have been
complete toast. Anyway, I found myself hanging, belted into the
drivers seat, which was now up 5 or 6 feet in the air. I kicked out
the back window (I think) and crawled out, because all the doors where
certainly crushed shut. Like I said, it's all very much a blur.

I got out of the car, failing to realize the damage. Thought to
myself, OH SHIT...but wait...maybe if I just push hard enough I can
roll it back on it's wheels and go on my merry way...at least get it
out of the road sideways. RIGHT! I failed to notice that running off
the road into a grotto of boulders at 70 mph sheared the wheels in
half, which can be seen in the picture.

Then, the car suddenly caught fire. It burned like a mofo all the way
to the tank and then exploded in a huge fireball. I knew then, that
things were decidedly bad!

Look at the mechanical carnage...

Dave and I and everyone have been looking for this pic for 8 years. So
I figured I'd share it.

PS

Dave, my dad had it backed up somehow from years ago...who knew
