It crashed through a shed then the driver continued to drive it for a further two kilometres with four flat tyres before deciding to park it!

I've heard about a liberty in the US that had a head-on with a "truck" (F250 or something like that, I suppose). The guy in the ute had massive injuries, and was taken to hospital by ambulance. On the way he asked about the other driver, and the ambos replied that the little old lady in the subaru had walked away. The car was a write-off, of course, but she wasn't! The ute had survived without much damage, but the guy was just about written off. :P
Living in Canada now. Looking at all these SVXs for sale...
I'VE GOT AN OUTBACK AGAIN WOOT
