1990 Civic 1.6i SR (ED7), friend of mine decided it would be cool to slam my car into a tree at about the same speed (110kph/69mph).

We all lived, an ambulance wasn't even needed, just a tow truck and a ride home.

Drop a K in it and you wouldn't have to worry about breaking, it'll fly :lol:

... shame it wouldn't fit.
