The bottom of the car is flat. No big news the lower front took the bulk of the impact.

You went into the air or at least very up there from the front end bonk. At 65 mph your car travels 95 feet in one second. The launch may have saved you a world of hurt.

Check suspension point pickups in rear and exhaust.

Focus on the nose damage to a fault.
