And that is it. Like I said before, I took the time to tab this out because I haven't seen any decent Understanding in a Car Crash tabs anywhere, so here you go. I'm almost positive this is 100% correct. But, if you have and corrections, comments, questions or whatever - email me at [email protected] 
 
Thanks, and enjoy.
