There's nothing like some SOB running in to you head-on to brighten your
afternoon commute!!!!

The car is completely wiped out.  The engine is pushed back about eight
inches and nothing sticks out any further than where the radiator support
used to be.  The cockpit floor buckled right in front of the seats but
miraculously, I didn't break any bones.  My leg was twisted pretty bad and
I was uncounsious at impact.  The only real injury I sustained was that my
arm was ripped open by the air bag; I would gladly trade an arm for my
chest any day!!  The little thing sacrificed itself for me and I'm going to
miss it :(
