You know, I'm starting to worry a little about this--I've always thought
of my 90 as a pretty durable car that could take being tossed around
pretty well.  *I* certainly toss it around, and it takes it pretty
well!  
About a year ago there was something about a bunch of 90s with
cracked/broken subframes, but I didn't think much of it.

But 3 pieces?  I mean just how fast was this kid going, anyway?!

The 90 strikes me as a pretty hefty car, but I think I'm going to be a
little more careful now.......
