An Audi A8 unfortunately ::) which actually was built like a tank and it suffered no more than a slightly misplaced bumper. My Colt seemed to take most of the force of the impact hence the reason it now only has 3 corners. Probably would have done less damage if I had driven into a brick wall.

This morning I saw the aftermath of an accident.  A car hit a landscaping truck so hard that the airbads were deployed.  I dont know if anyone was injured or not, but the accident was actually kind of funny because the truck had lots of grass in the back and it was emptied onto another truck as a result of the crash
