FRS rolling at 5 MPH and hits a smart car
FRS rolling at 5 MPH and hits a brick wall
FRS stationary and a loaded dump truck hits FRS moving at 5 MPH
Physics and me have a good relationship, I'm just having trouble believing anything less than an abrams tank caused that @ 5mph

Maybe the seatbelt buckle got slammed in there a few times by the door, could have been in a promiscuous relationship with a curb....

Either way I see corporate saying it was damaged and therefor doesn't fall under the corrosion perforation warranty
