Looks like it was not a total until the EMS folks went at it with the jaws of life and bent the doors back for access.

Never ever say you have a sore neck to EMS if you want the car to survive.

Shades of Chris D.'s wreck in his 944 race car at SP about 10 years ago... Great way to ruin a car.

Yup remember seeing that "relatively" undamaged car sitting up on the berm, think it was at T8, and he complained of a sore back/neck. made a convertible out of it.

That convertible }{ put up did not look like it had much damage, steering wheel, seats, front end doors apart from jammed back all looked pretty good.
