Let's see, you have to return to the scene of the crime to pick up you parts. There is no chance of damaging your front lip again seeing as how you don't have one right now(I might put an underpanel back on first)............can't imagine you couldn't recreate this one 
Quiet on the set.....Action.

110mph = roughly 166 feet per second x 3 seconds = bullsh!t
Pretty sure you weren't in the air for 498 feet.
Good story though.

You're right. I was just reading that article and they mention an original comparion in 2003 of the two vehicles. the jumping cars must have been in the original article, not the "rematch".

According to the people watching when it happened, it was the most amazing thing they have ever seen.
This was so funny you had me laughing with this right here. I would be like one of those guys on king of the hill with my beer in my hand and as you went airborn I would have been like "hey guys I guess the evos can fly now." And my friends are like "yep! those cars so aerodynamic they can really get off the ground no problem." bwahahahahaha
Ok all joking aside. I hope everything comes out great and you get everyhting back to normal. I bet the guys at the paint shop put that ditch there on purpose!
