Anyone got t-boned at 60mph won't live to tell the story. With only $2000 in repair bill, your car is "scratched" sideway.

When we were hit the car lost control for about 2 seconds and then the cars Traction assistance took control... we didnt even spin. As soon as the car was stopped and parked. the police arrived and the drunk driver was taken away. my friend who had been sitting in the back seat had only bumped her head. I know that if I had been in a Honda Civic or a mustang, my friend would have been seriously injured possibly killed. The collision specialist concluded that he struck the car at about 60 miles an hour (way above the 35 mph) mind you. And hit the car.... After Paying 2000 dollars in repairs to my subframe, recutting of steal and fabrication, new Suspension all around, and new paint. I can hapily say I was in one of the safest cars in the world.
