Default Head On Collision vs. Dodge Ram

Well my wife was driving but walked away from this. She's a little beat up, stiff and bruised but nothing serious. Head on collision cause some idiot sped out of a parking spot into traffic causing them to come into my wifes lane. Went head on versus a new Dodge Ram, both cars doing around 35mph and the Saturn looked better. I was surprised, this thing took a good hit. Frame was still pretty straight. All airbags deployed and OnStar called within seconds. Hats off to GM, these Saturn Outlooks/GMC Arcadia's are little tanks.

If she drove and Ion I'd be a widower! It was like hitting a wall at 60mph. I saw the Dodge and that thing is pretty big. It was a scarry phone call yesterday but thank god she's ok.

Wow, it kinda doesn't surprise me. I am in college and atleast, every time i go, there is someone that almost runs into me, they take the corners too fast and they DONT LOOK, they expect the paved way is all theirs. Like today for instance, i was going straight into a parking lot and my way does not stop at the intersection, I see a girl just drive out of her parking spot and run right infront of me barely missing my front end. Did not even look, even when my car dived down from an immediate stall for braking so hard. I never had to punch my brakes until today, seriously man. Sorry for the story but man hopefully you gut this person that hit your wife.

I hear you man but the guy at fault is the idiot who pulled into traffic and caused the truck to swerve. Seems like the guy sped off after the accident though.
