[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4183757, member: 26737"] You voluntarily ate a Whopper, Jr, and they didn't find anything wrong? Obviously it wasn't a psych eval. :laugh6: Funny thing--I had a very similar experience 31 years ago this month. I was stopped, waiting for traffic to clear so I could make a left turn on a 2-lane city street; I could see him approaching in the rear view, thinking "he's gonna stop. He's gonna stop. Surely he's gonna stop. Oh sh*t, he's not gonna stop." It mashed in my car's trunk, but not quite that badly, and the body shop was able to get it fixed. My only "injury" was a strained muscle in my forearm where I had been squeezing the steering wheel bracing for impact. It was also the event that made me learn that the armchair drivers who say "don't turn your wheels to the left 'cause you'll roll into the oncoming traffic" are full of crap. My wheels were turned left, but my car went right, down into the bar ditch, because he tried to swerve left at the last moment, and physics didn't give a flip about which way my wheels were turned... Sounds like you're mostly ok, and the car did what it was supposed to do, sacrificing itself to save you. I'm glad it did. [/QUOTE]
