Wow. Glad you are alright. It’s a surreal feeling looking at that in person after you get out of something like that. I’m sure the hairs stood up on the back of your neck looking at in the day time.

I was on the 90 heading east of Roch. When that elderly couple came accross the Grass Median from the westbound lane like 4 years ago. They hit the SUV directly behind me. I think the lady die at the scene. I was told I was Ghost White for like 3 days.

I still get chills everytime I drive past that area. I want to say mile marker 133…I can’t remember ATM.

Didn’t you see how that thing disintegrated? I’d send them a bag of dog shit. 😛 If he had been in an American car he would have run the tree over and kept driving. :tup:

You should take the couple grand you’ll get from the insurance and buy an old VW. Safety/dollar can’t be beat, and you can’t crash something that doesn’t run. :tup:

:lol: You already proved that you can wad a car that’s slow as balls. Give yourself some time to calm down before you buy something like a Crown Vic.

And check out [safercar.gov](http://safercar.gov) for good safety and crash test information. You’d be surprised what cars suck in a crash and what doesn’t. Minis actually do quite well, even though you’d think they’d squish like a big. :shrug:

Those ratings are great if you’re hitting immovable objects (which works in this case since he hit a tree). They’re completely useless if you’re hitting other cars of varying sizes though.

Question: “But my Honda Fit has a 5 star driver and passenger rating… why will I never walk right again while the guy driving the 5 star Accord I crashed into walked away with barely a scratch?”

Answer: “Physics. Specifically F=MA”.

So if the engine was still running could you cash for clunkers the front half? Or do you need 4 wheels?
