my god, look at the roof of the jetta... that thing hit HARD.

Yeah, accidents are weird, I saw one the other day involving a brand new honda odyssey that ran a red and on of those two door explorers. The explorer struck the rear qtr of the van, which considering that they are both about the same height you would think that would send the van into a spin; nope, the explorer picked the van off the ground and sent it sailing through the intersection tail in the air, after a full end over the van landed right side. My first thought was that it must have struck the curb on the far side to pick it up but both of those wheels were pristene, it was only the landing that blew out the tires. Side curtians blew (the driver bag never went off) and there were no serious injuries, the guy in the back of the vans face was all bloody but nothing was broken (as far as I could tell)

They were probably what the driver of the car was reading at the time of impact.
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
