A FEW YEARS AGO, I T-BONED A STANDARD CHEVY PICKUP THAT BACKED RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD INTO MY PATH. I WAS DOING ABOUT 40 MPH AT THE TIME. I PUT A $6000 "V" IN HIS TRUCK AND IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I DROVE THE VANAGON ON TO MY DESTINATION, AS I WASN'T INJURED AT ALL, AND, SURPRISINGLY, THE VW'S FRONT DIDN' T EVEN GET PUSHED BACK INTO THE FRONT TIRES. cs > all i know is that my insurance company gives me a 'safe car' discount for > my 88 bus, cause folks don't seem to get hurt as much in a vanagon. and we > all know how tight and stingy insurance companies are!! :) > > joel > |
