I dismantled a toyota landcruiser at work with the same problem the guardrail went rite thru the passenger seat. It didnt have any blood like the audi had. Any car with blood comes from the salvage auction with a Bio Hazard sticker on it.

Yuck. Giant shish kabob. The speedo was stuck at what i think is 100 kph, which is about 60 mph. Not really that fast.

My own similar experience is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/63319497@N00/4927905738/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/63319497@N00/4927905584/. Cause unknown. Speed similar. I am extremely grateful I was in an Audi as the engine, though hit by the guard rail dead center, did not come into the passenger compartment.

I learned an odd fact of autmobiles, and some trucks...

they play with a frame rail stance of 60 inches, plus or minus.

there is an "outside the rails" realm for some of the cars.. and I consider these photos the lesson.

an appeal for shallow offset wheels and unistructures is in these photos.. uni structure cannot play weak in the corners...as uncomfortable as it may get. :
