Looking at the left side, I thought that was a Geo Prizm! Didn't realize that it was a Camry until I looked at the passenger side pic.

Glad that you are OK.

I drive a 72 VW beetle.




I think I need to buy a helmet.

Thank got you didnt have anyone or a child in the back seat. Makes you really question if the back seat is the safest place for a passenger, you and your wife re lucky to be alive.

The SUV haters on this board on gonna have a field day.

I wonder if she's one of those people who drives an SUV because it makes her feel safer... it sure made the victims of her stupidity a lot less safe. ;)

Damn :Q wow... you are lucky to be alive, especially given the amount of cabin intrusion. Thankfully there was no one in the backseat.

Good to hear that you're okay. Hopefully the stupid assh@le that collided with you gets what's coming to her.

She hit me at full speed (~65mph) offset to the driver's side. This knocked me into the car in the next lane. We spun around banging on each other several times and finally landed facing 180 degrees from where we started. They had to cut me out of the car. I wound up with 6 broken ribs, a broken arm, and a concussion. I spent 8 days in the hospital, 5 of which were in the ICU. While in the hospital I got a case of pneumonia that was resolved before they let me out.

My wife got lucky and only wound up with a mild concussion. I was the only one involved that was seriously injured.

This is why men's car insurance rates are higher.
