Look at the house's siding, it's not angled in, it's out. Is this the exit wound? If so, that must have been quite an interesting series of events.

Well...having done a balllistic critique of the AfghaniVan, I did notice that, but refrained from commenting. My take is that the car entered on the side of the house we're seeing (look at the top edge of the hole; looks pushed in to me) but after the initial penetration that it crushed the wall from about the windowsill level (the lower edge of the car AKA the driver's side) down, pushing debris mostly outward (especially the vinyl siding) until it reached the floor and got some additional support.
