Here's to a speedy and full as possible recovery!

Yup. I read that in a local website after I posted my question. I wonder if the airbag did that to her. That sucks.

I don't think so, if that semi was fully loaded they are lucky to be alive. Those things can get into double digit tons in weight, the physics alone would say just the force they would have endured at highway speed could do that.

I got hit like that once. The idiot in the second car ahead of me decided he wanted to turn left and braked suddenly. The driver in front of me and I were able to stop in time, unfortunately for me, the one behind me didn't. Lucky for me, I drove a mid-size SUV while she drove a sedan, so her front was bent out of shape while my bumper was relatively unscathed. That's why I'll always go for the big car when I'm driving in the US. :mrgreen:


Oh, and best wishes to the Reid family.

This is the one argument I accept on driving giant gas hogs. For the most part, I ridicule the jackass who drives an H2 to work 30 miles on dry pavement every day carrying only himself and his briefcase. Talking to a guy in the kitchen at work a while back, he said "I'm buying my daughter the biggest, ugliest SUV I can find, because I want her surrounded by six feet of metal on all sides."

Have at it, random kitchen guy.

Another driving pet-peeve of mine: People who change lanes barely a car length ahead of you, effectively creating a tailgate situation.
 
I think my faith in the contributors here at Debate Politics has been restored.

You guys rock.

Some of us are regularly like this -- politics are politics, but our common humanity SHOULD rise above that... nice to see that it is here for a change...
 
Congratulations to all 32 posts so far because no one said anything Mean or Nasty or wished they'd die or worse and that d of stuff even happens in RIP threads.

Way to go group.

But I think best of all we didn't hear from the White House blaming it on Bush.

Finally bad news and no connection. Wow shocking.

I hope they recover as well.
