The list of entities I've offended by my mere existence is of epic proportions... On the bright side, I'm still alive. For now, at least.

Don't tempt the entities.

5 years ago we had a full-frontal crash at night (about at 100km/h)

I couldn't even realise what was happening it was so fast as sudden... For a sec I was panicking we are going to die...
Luckily everyone survived and I am really glad I am able to send this message

So whatever anyone tells you, it DOES matter what kind of car you have and YES, basically money can save your life (for instance if we were poorer and we had an old crappy car - we would be fried meat by now)

You say that but an old car with 20 feet of steel can cost you under $1,000 and squish a hybrid flat!

Mass matters, but so does engineering. Remember that infamous offset frontal test between a Mini Cooper and an F150? Yah, I know, old news, but instructive all the same. Design matters.

Not hard to imagine which vehicle you'd rather be in.

Yes, but I meant the older cars that would throw all occupants through the windshield yet only require light buffing after hitting a tree. Like Abrams they were.

Rolled my rover being fifty yards down a hillside a few years back, completely crushed but walked away without a scratch.
A noble end to my rover bling. :D

never been in one as the driver, though I've been in a couple as a passenger.

luckily, in neither case was it serious: fender-benders.

just think of it this way Gaelic cowboy: she ran into you, and you didn't into her. So in a just world, she has to pay, not you.

Just slid off the road there this morning at about twenty to eight on the way to work.

I am ok and prob the car just needs pulling out of the field it's in.

Best guess is that as I was going round a turn I hit a bump/depression in road and lost control.

There were no marks on the road so I wasnt going to fast (thankfully) but I did get a nice fright (an a new bill to pay)

I am never using that road again to go to work
