I’m so glad you are ok, and I’m sorry about the stress you had to go through. I’ve never been in a serious accident but I’ve known a few people who were and it takes a while to get over it for some folks. Hope everything works out for you! ---

Glad you’re okay! Umm, congrats on the weight loss too? 🙂 ---

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I have learned a lot of tough lessons this year but I think I am the better for it. ---

Eeep! Dude, thank goodness you’re ok. That’s just terrifying! (I noticed you’re looking for a newer-used car in another thread, so I take it you’re pretty sure it’s done for? ☹ ) ---

I could be wrong…but it has 220000KM on it. So I think it’s done. ---

220K? It gave you a grand farwell. ---

I wasn’t driving ridiculously and no one was hurt…yet I feel some guilt. Like I could have killed someone. Maybe I shouldn’t be commuting for moral reasons more than economic reasons. Right now I’m wishing I had made different decisions with my life…I’m sure I’ll get over it soon. ---

> [@Tom\_Tildrum](#): > > The modern automobile is an amazing thing. Even with all of the safety advances of modern cars, my understanding is that rollovers still tend to be injurious events; every now and then an SUV model ends up in the news as crash researchers discover it’s unusually prone to rollovers. **Quasi,** glad you weren’t hurt. The destruction of your car will complicate your life for a little while, but things could easily have been much, much worse. ---

> [@Machine\_Elf](#): > > Even with all of the safety advances of modern cars, my understanding is that rollovers still tend to be injurious events Just a couple weeks ago a guy here somehow managed to get a Ford F250 over the guard rail on an overpass and ended up landing roof-down on the street below. Walked away with nothing more than bruises. I’ll stick with “The modern automobile is an amazing thing.” ---

On the other hand, it’s stories like this that lead to people not wearing their seat belts - and 99% of the time you are better off not being thrown from the car. ---
