Default Milliseconds before IMPACT

I have no idea how fast I was going, maybe around 160 or so. Anyways I was off the pavement and I guess I hit a driveway entrance and caught just a little bit of air.

The camera is facing the direction of travel, therefore I rear ended a power pole upside down and at forty feet in the air or so. HOLY CRAP what a ride

The car is the Ferrari 458 Italia

There are no people to run over so its all good!

Horizons is all about speed and times so they decided that the cars would have no damage except cosmetic damage if you want it on. Head on crash do only one thing, slow you down. No spectacular crashes or anything. They did this so it wouldn't turn into a demolition derby game.

I did learn on thing though, X really does mark the spot LOL
