What, exactly, do you have to hit, and at what speed to do that to a wheel/fender. ![]()

I think you'd be surprised, and depressed, at how slowly you can be going and still get that kind of damage. Looks like a telephone pole and I'd guess 30-40mph.

The requirement for a 25% deposit seems a bit rich for my blood.
![]() Wonder if he would accept US Postage Stamps to pay for the deposit? Costs me $6 to get a cashiere's check............. Ken300D

As most people would be down right horrified at the damage done to a late model car at next to no speed. I see it every day(salvage yard). And even more horrified if you survive it and have to pay to have your plastic tinkertoy fixed. ![]() Looks like that w123 crumpled and absorbed impact while preserving the cabin pretty well. I betcha the seatbelt retractor did not work correctly if that is a head mark on the windscreen.
