My very first car was a 1969 1600 BMW. I had it for two years (between high school and college) and finally wrapped it around a telephone pole. I drove away unhurt (solo driving) and drove the car for the next 4 months with plastic over the passenger window (the side was caved in); car still drove great and the chassis was fine. Sold it to a guy who fixed it. Don't know what happened to it after that.
(no original pics; these are off the net. But mine was the same color: white on black interior.)
