that was one big smack the vibe took --- looks like the RSX almost went right through it

How in the world did that guy survive that wreck in the Vibe? WOW!

Actually, I'm thinking the Vibe driver was lucky...that part of the car looks to be the only survivable part. Had there been a passenger(s), they're most likely critically injured (or worse). Cougar Vibe

WOW that's a lot of missing car...(PS what's the deal with those taillights? They don't look stock... I kind of like them. Unless that's what they look like AFTER the cover pops off from a giant accident...)
