How to destroy a Honda Accord

I have mentioned in the past in various memes and the odd conversation that back in 1986 I destroyed a 1977 Honda Accord by rolling it at 80 miles an hour, reducing it, as I like to say, to something one could fit through a mail slot.

To date, the only proof any of you have had has been to see me in short sleeves and note the condition of my left arm. 

Well, recently, I found the photographs my brother took when he went to the salvage yard to retrieve those of my belongings that survived the wreck - or at least weren't jettisoned from the vehicle. As you can see, I wasn't exaggerating much.

So here you go. Obviously, I survived, God knows how. Click for the big versions.

Holy cow. That's rather a frightenig though. I must admit I'm very glad you did.

Holy schlamoly, man! How scary! *shivers*

Here's a *hug* to be applied retroactively.

Judging from the look of that thing, you were greatly lucky just to survive. Congratulations.
