sounds like a cop was chasing him. he was "flying" according to a witness. (yeah must of been an s3)

during the crash his arm RIPPED OFF and he was ejected out of the sunroof.

Definitely an S3 - here is a still shot where you can make out the S3 emblem on the trunk lid:

A good body shop should be able to make it like new. I'm guessing about $500 should take care of it. Maybe a bit more.

Wouldn't one normally have their seat belt on when being chased by the police Common sense, really.


OTOH, the one that's not missing, he probably won't be behind the wheel of any car soon.
