The Chevy or the TJ?  The Chevy definitely.  The TJ, I'm not sure.

i was talking about the Chevy

the bumblebee landed on it's front bumper, so it's likely to need a frame too but didn't look like it from the side though (as opposed to the Chevy which was pretty obvious)

Since things shifted to the TJ, I was talking about it.  The Chevy was bone stock.  Nothing to help it absorb the impact other then the body and frame.  I was reading that the guy suspects $3000 worth of damage.  I suspect it's closer to $5000 if not more.

I don't think engine size would have stopped him.

If he could not get up to speed, he would not have jumped as far...

that wasn't all that fast, the 4banger can probably match the speed, i think Jeffy is right, it's the missing nuts and bolts in the guy's head that matter more than the extra 4 cylinders.
