You know, I KNOW I've seen that video before, but it's still amazing.

Only the bodywork, the chassis held up surprisingly well

You think Se7ens are tough, the drivers are tougher!

There are drivers.....and then there are "7" drivers.

Was the driver ok? The accident seems harsh but I'm guessing the length of impact meant that the individual hits weren't too bad.

No offence to the the seven owners (you guys are

) but I'd rather the car destroy itself to save me instead of the car surviving at my expense.
