Default ouch...

I drive by the penske auto repair shop and the place is full of jag's all the time. its the only place basically in a 300 miles radius that will repair jags so I see quite a few.

this one doesnt look like it can be fixed. I notice the window is smashed on the passenger side....only can think someone's head maybe hit the window (sans seat belt)

It's interesting how with these aluminum jags, the damage is very localized. The rest of the car looks completely untouched--I'm sure the doors still open and close as normal!

The one the "Winter Project" guy got running looked almost as bad, IIRC.

How could someone drive around without a seat belt on?

'Cos they is dumb?

I think the seatbelt alarm stops bitching after a while, if you're really determined not to wear it. But, jeez...

agreed. I have to assume the broken glass is due to that reason...

In a car like the XKR, even without a collision, not wearing a seatbelt can have you flying out the roof!

I'd be willing to be the glass broke from the edge of the hood popping up and contacting/impacting the glass, could have been the passenger hitting it, but I have seen this same effect from the hood hitting the glass from another angled front end impact
