My thoughts exactly

Looks like Anthracite interior & Headliner, Black leather/Red cloth seats, chrono package & who knows what else.

That PW wreck is listed as being in Rancho Cordova... just a few miles down the road... Much, much to close to home

Amazing how well both cars held up

These horrid pictures serve as a reminder to SLOW DOWN and take it easy while driving.

Beat me to it!! I saw it and wanted to post about it. Also did you see one about a month ago? A Black 04 MCS. The car was taken for a test drive by a salesman and got hit on the driver's side really bad.

Maybe this calls for a new Forum section. "Safety" Pics of crashs of our beloved as a memorial and tips and tricks for not getting into accidents.

I'm sad to see those two MINI's (too did you notice the e-bay one didn't even have enough miles to take the airbag sticker off?)

I will have to print out those two and show them to my skeptic friends who say a MINI is not safe. Doesn't look as if either cockpit got smushed in those accidents.

Regarding the ouch 145 mile wreck on ebay...

Look at the radio antenna on the roof. It is the shark fin type. So the car must not be a 2005 right ?

(I thought the fin was out on 2005's and the more traditional wire type radio antenna was now being used.)
