2. Tried to cut in front of it to avoid it, then all of a sudden my rear end swaps places with my front. There were no brakes involved, perhaps throttle lift might have been the cause who knows.

3. Rear right corner hit first, then sling-shot the front right into the k-rail

4. My brother and I walk away... Albeit with hurt feelings, and wallets.

I'm gonna bide my time now and look for a clean s5 shell to swap everything over, looks like most if not everything besides the body is salvageable.
