Default S2000 vs. Alligator

I already posted this in the Florida section, but thought some other people might get a kick out of my disaster and humiliation.

Here's a preview picture.

Ouch, and eww.

Sorry for the lack of pics of the gator. While I'm fairly certain it was killed on impact, the lighting out there was practically nil and I didn't want to take the risk of getting close enough to take a picture with my camera phone.

And yes, I used jack stands when working underneath the car. However, it was harder to get decent angles of carnage with all that under the vehicle. So the pics were taken upon initially getting it on the scissor jack and right before taking it back down. I'm brave, but not stupid.
