UPDAITEE! My neck induries are alright (did I even tell about those in the first place...? Just got back from the ER today.) and my Dad's Rib Fractures are healing fine. Anyways,
@Circy: I'm surprisingly not scared of being in cars after this. Or SUV's. I still hate them. I have been sorta playing it in my mind, but I'm reassured because my Dad (who remembers 'peter proffit? that's him ) did the right thing in swerving. If he hadn't, I would have been flattened and the car probably would have caught fire. I'm just thinking of what didn't happen, and am happy that it didn't.
A BIT OF IRONY: The only rental car we could find to go to the ER was an SUV...!
The trucker who made us swerve feels real bad and is going to give us some compensation money, but he seemed a little nervous... we think he might of had some bas stuff in his truck that we weren't supposeded to find, so we think he's giving us a lot of money in hopes we won't bring that up... . Anyways,
@David .(w)
Yes, America is a fucked up place. Not only does the driving kill so many, our stupid government has made this much more complicated than it needs to be. We waited by the side of the highway for 4 hours (I got 45 mosquito bites- counted 'em) and the state troopers came, police came, tow truck came... damn.
Anyway, everyone give a big hand to Peter Proffitt (irony, we're not doing so well financially) for saving mine and his life! YAY!

Glad you're safe, Bibin.
Someone needs to make an SUV racing game, where half the challenge comes from trying not to roll over in corners. Oh, and having to pit for gas every other lap.

Something else amazingly ironic:
Yesterday, shortly after I posted in this thread, I headed out to a party with my girlfriend. We were involved in a minor car accident... thankfully nobody was hurt.

I hate these rich suburbian moms and their giant SUVs with one hand on the phone and the other on an extra large fruity cappalicious iced coffee or some crap. Let's see... drop the kids you hardly see off at school in the morning, fart around all day about town (instead of working) while her husband is slowly rotting his body and mind in some cubicle somewhere so that she can get it on with the pool boy. That's about right.
I was almost involved in a head on collision in 1998 before. I was driving to work down a one way 2 lane street about 4:30pm and the next thing I knew there was a car coming the wrong way right towards me. The weird thing is I didn't even really see it until it was about 40 feet away. Maybe it's because you don't expect to ever see anything like that, who knows? Anyway, I started honking and flashing the high beams to get the woman to wake the fuck up, and she just made this face like "WHAT? WHAT DID I DO???". I slammed on the brakes and a ton of cars behind me did the same, only some of them had to stop a bit diagonally to avoid hitting each other. She stopped the car and we were all yelling stuff at her, mostly "WTF?!", "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" and "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?". She had to pull up on the sidewalk to go around us all. I was shaking like a leaf for about 2 or 3 hours after that. Scary stuff.

I came off the back of a Honda 1200 at about 60 mph and landed in a ditch. I dunno why everyone's getting all emotional, I though it fucking rocked!
By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space
Out of time.

I overheard my dad and sister talking about people nearly running them off the road on a roundabout (or traffic circle)
And a few days ago he hit a jaguar (the car not the cat) in a hired van. Luckily it was such a slight collision there was no damage at all . Apparently he was admiring it and didn't break quite hard enough.
I don't drive so have no stories to tell But i can see people on phones and smoking and stuff while a passenger in cars. It's something to moan about i supose.

I'm suppose to learn how to drive this year, but I'm dreading it.
I lose concentration so easily - like if say there is a spec of dirt on my window or something I can't stop looking at it and it annoys me..
..so hopefully I won't be driving for a while
This is a signature. Have this one on me.

I'm getting my permit in a couple of months, and let me tell you I have some anti-SUV missles already strapped on the hood of my car just in case such a situation arose. Yeah, im f'n ready!
