    So glad you're ok! Or at least I'm assuming you are since you're posting. :) This is the second wreak I've heard of within the last 15 mins. :( Hope everything works out.

    I shot across the road last week and jumped my car across a curb and some grass into a parking lot. I was weirded out for a few days myself.

    I've travled that stretch of road many times. I've also sacrificed a few windshields to the LIE Gods. At this point, a cracked windshield and my car probably would be totalled

    Dude you swerved hard enough that you spun out on the highway?

    How? Was this on dry pavement?
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    What happened to the huge black SUV? Did they stop?

    I totaled my car once when I dozed off and ran into the back of an old Lincoln Continental. It didn't have a scratch and my front end was crumpled.

    I did pull out 10 discs out of the cd changer. I got 10+ grand back towards another car.

    That sounds freaking scary. I'm glad you are okay. Has the shock worn off to hit your heart yet?
