Everything in the engine compartment slid under the car. Engine and transmission collapsed down and under. We are thankful!

Thanks! Wife broke a leg and rib in the passenger seat, but we are fine now. That was 65mph against the right front head light of a dodge dakota turning across traffic. Vibe performed beautifully in its demise.

The car i drove when i got my license was a 78 chevy caprice classic. That was the hand-me-down from the parents. The first that was actually mine was a 66 chevy stepside. The last truck my grandfather ever bought and i was his youngest grandchild. That one meant something.

That pretty much lets me know where i stand. I really enjoy the navigation system, so i'll leave the HU as is for now; may upgrade the speakers and add an amp and sub. Anything to be on the look out for in doing that?Thanks!Jdub
