Ouch. Glad you made it thru such a collision. Figured at first that you were emailing so it couldnt be tooo bad. With that much damage, I'm betting the frame is now trashed to a point that it would need replacing or rewelding. Think the only person that would bring that car back is someone devoted enough that money doesnt matter, assuming the insurance doesnt put a title on it that cant be reversed (title of destruction for instance). Again, glad your fine knowing the extent of the damage. Considering the interior size of the car, they are pretty safe from head on or near-head on hits, have all that trunk space to take most of the impact.
