Wow!!! Glad to hear you are OK. As many have said the Vette can and probably will be replaced. Your life cant.

My company built rear entry wheelchair vans for many years.
Whenever there was a model change or we developed a new concept or idea, we had to submit the vehicle for a federal government approved crash test.

I would always go and whiteness the test. They would either do a frontal impact, rear impact or side impact. These tests were usually done at a 30mph or 50 kph (Canadian) rate of speed.

From your pictures the actual cabin area is still fairly much intact.
I have seen the Big 3 minivans end up in allot worse shape.

Consider yourself a Lucky man. Get well soon

Man thanks for posting the pictures, maybe it will help the rest of us remember
how fast this can happen. Sorry you are injured, but we all know it could have been
so much worse. Good luck in recovering.....
