Default First Crashed GT-R

Well, there's one down, although it doesn't look like a total loss. Maybe it can be fixed. But this is one of the first of many, I'm afraid. Let the carnage begin!

At 70k, it's a car you can afford to crash.

Sad, that car is totaled. Seems the safety features did a good job.

Its not 70k USD in Hong Kong, sigh.... its around 125k right now. It is still a better deal than the new M3, which is around 165k!
