I'm gonna save that picture to my phone and show it to the next fool who tells me " I would hate to get hit by a semi that car" I love it. Sorry that little guy had to take one for the team.
I hope they give it a proper burial.

Why'd they remove the driver's door panel? Were they going to upgrade him to new Polk db651 speakers to compensate him for his loss?

I think the door panel was either damaged or loosened/removed by the impact. There's damage visible to the interior of the door and at least the outer edge of the door sill at the bottom.

Here is a picture at night when I hit a deer at 45 MPH. I just messed up my bumper. We hit the deer and got air. It went underneath the whole smart car. I was shocked that not more damaged happened! Smart cars are amazing.

This picture is very misleading. In a controlled crash test, I'm sure a lightweight vehicle like the smart could sustain less damage due to it's light weight when crashed into a fixed object, such as a wall. It makes sense that a MUCH heavier vehicle like the F150 would have to crumple more to absorb the energy from hitting a stationary object.

But in the real world, not all cars crash by hitting stationary objects. In the real world, it's very common for two vehicles to collide on the road, Now imagine what that picture would look like if the F150 and the smart were crashed head-to-head, both vehicle travelling the same exact speed....and that doesn't even take into consideration the difference between bumper heights of various different vehicle when they crash head-on.

Just trying to keep it real...
