Back at the beginning of January my 1994 Honda Civic was slammed in the driver's door by a 2003 Ford Explorinater. Yeah, I have given it a new name based on the Terminator.
The result of this was a compound lower leg fracture, 2 broken ribs, broken collar bone, COMA for about a month, and Traumatic Brain Injury.
The only positive aspect about any on this is that I do not remember any of it. In fact because of the T.B.I. I don't remember most of last December through about the end of March.
Oh, and in 1995 I was a passenger in a Ford Bronco II that rolled on the Interstate. I walked away with a 2 inch scar on my arm. I had two friends that were killed in that one.
I have always been into bicycles, now I am all about them only. I don't drive anymore.
So yes, SUVs are evil. Especialy Ford SUVs.
