I have heard the story behind this crash once before and it does make you very angry both for the coupe and the people involved

To keep a long story short, after heading back from sydney just out of goulburn we stopped for a full tank of fuel, after getting back on the fwy a semi rear ended us, was like a unexpected burst of speed, g force like nothing i have ever experienced, like going from 0-120 in 3 seconds, After sheering a few trees off there roots stopping on the median strip, we got greeted by the driver of the truck and claimed we didnt have out lights on, i was just absolutley furious at this guy, and then to make things better he said the car was fixable.... and then from there i pretty much went onto rage mode.

hopefully you were all okay - it is very sad for the coupe, it would break your heart and send you into a psychotic state
