These S2000 wreck pics are hard to look at. Remarkably, even with the worst wrecks, the cabin seems to remain intact. This car while fast and light seems to be able to take serious punishment

jaundice - It appears from your writeup that you shifted *in* the corner? Or did I read that wrong? It is my understanding, and practice, that shifting needs to take place *before* you enter the corner to avoid problems.

Technically, I shifted prior to corner, but got back on gas just as entering it. It is actually not a corner, but a very shallow s curve, like a chicane, on a nice long straight road. Usually shift and hold the gear thru the s curve then get back on gas. Feeling brave this day and got back on gas too early....

GF's jeep liberty is pretty tall, my car is pretty low, she couldn't see it behind her and the garbage people put the cans right in front of her car. Not really bad damage just a huge hassle. I'm trying to locate used parts now. I think ive found a 3rd brake light, and there is a black trunk on craigs, i'll just need the paint and labor..
