It looks a little bit worse, but if you ignore the damage on the right side and the busted windows, the damage it pretty much the same: (at least thats way it seems to be, though I am pretty intimately familiar with how mine looked) http://klode.com/Kws/Napplications/disp ...

I'm betting the PO was driving in one of our big snow storms this time last year and managed to catch a curb and roll it in the snow. I bought it that way: http://www.colorado4wheel.com/images/li ... epair.html |

Yes, purchase price was $7100, after all said and done including the purchase of new tires/wheel we have 10K invested in it. |

Not really, speed has nothing to do with it. Momentum and friction does. It would be very easy to catch a curb and roll, or just slide off the road onto an embankment. Seriously going 25mph can do this. heck I've seen people roll vehicles going 3 mph in reverse. |

Hey man looked at your site - the two lights on the dash did you find out what they were for? I think one of them is the overheated engine warning (on the right). 
What's that thing with the vacuum hose attached to it? Surely looks a lot like the EGR design we use in europe! Does that contain a hose going back around the engine into your electrically controlled EGR valve???? (to the right of the boost hose and just below the coolant container, the flying saucer looking thing)

The one to the left is a Drive by Wire fault indication light. The round LED is the sentry key light. That silver thing that looks like your EGR valve is the VGT/VNT vacuum actuator. (and ya when the euro EGR valve pics where posted I almost felt like chiming in that it looks like like our VGT/VNT actuator. |

Ahhh yes. That explains it. At one point I thought my EGR valve was a wastegate actuated by vacuum  :D
darn them for making so many similar designs with so many different functions!! |
