what a horrible day

You're ok, though, which is the important part.

I used to work collision for a long time before doing restorations for a living and I've been in some nasty accidents when other people were driving and I can tell you, I'd take a nasty old truck over a five star disposable car any day of the week in traffic. You are proof. Nobody is safe at highway speeds without a 4 point and a helmet, though. DOT doesn't want you to know that.

Demo derbys didn't outlaw Chrysler Imperials because they were weak and dangerous. They did it because they sit on truck frames and are made out of Super Mario stars.

The only accident I've ever been in with an airbag car, I set my head as far back as I could in the passenger seat to keep from getting punched in the mouth with it. If you don't see it coming, it can help or hurt, depending. A friend's wife got kissed in the right rear and had her two front teeth replaced, thank you Toyota SRS. She would have been fine if it weren't for the airbag.

That could have been you in the Honda. Truck> Honda. You came out on top of that one.

Guy at the track set the front wheels back down on the ground after launch and lost it. Hit the walls 3 times like a pinball and got out ok, thanks to a helmet and bars. I think DOT needs to rethink the idea of airbags. I think they suck and if I ever own anything new enough to have one, I'm disarming it.
