thought it'd be fun to post up pics of my 1st Liberty GT
it only hurt a little bit.. hahaha..
the result of taking a powernap on the side of the freeway and being on the receiving end of a big truck who's drunk at 6am in the morning.

omgggg,
Thats a serious crash, it looks like a semi smashed you from behind..
Whats the story behind this mate? If you don't mind me asking of course.
The only thing that matters, is that you and your passengers came out inury free.
how was the engine?

Story is went 4 days without sleep, was busy managing a huge festival.
was on the Monash Freeway when i started feeling sleepy.. decided to pull over into the emergency lane to take a power nap (because thats what the TAC propaganda tells you to do), went to sleep and about 10 mins into my sleep, a drunk truck driver slams into the back of my car at 100km/h. ended up fracturing 3 vertebrae in my neck and some nerve damage. happened a year ago.
the truck pushed the entire back seat area into the front driver area. semi crushing me. cops and docs were all amazed.

Mate, glad to hear you got out of that one alive.
That's why I always find a nice secluded place to power-nap.
Bloody drunk drivers

I'm no expert but I think most of that would buff right out.

Hmmm, Meguires scratch X I think, and make sure you use a microfibre cloth so you don't get the swirl marks.
At least you could be confident that it would not show up as a rebirthed car !

I've heard of peeps taking their car modding to the extreme but that's way over the top!
Glad to hear you got out alive, I hope you were wearing your brown corduroy trousers!
