This is my car after T-Boning a S10 on hwy 101 at freeway speeds. I ****** it left in the fraction of a second I had before impact to lessen the blow which saved a direct full frontal blow which I believe would have killed the other driver. The other driver admitted guilt to the CHP, so I feel OK showing you all before they write the report. I walked away with a scratch from my zipper that gouged my chest from bouncing of the airbag/steering wheel, and my knees, neck and seat belt area are soar but that is it. I will likely be very sore tomorrow morning though, it was a hefty impact. I think the green machine stood up pretty well considering the impact it took. Overall, I am happy with the protection the car gave me. To be honest I didn't think I would just jump out from this one.
Here is a pic of the truck that I hit. This is what happens when you loose control on a clover leaf on ramp to a major hwy in traffic. The driver put the truck right in front of me coming directly from the right side into on coming traffic at an out of control speed skidding from the on ramp. No where for me to go, with almost not time to react. I knew it was happening, and there was not way to avoid it. She did go on a stretcher with injuries, but she is alive at least. Pretty sure the driver of the truck will be out of commission for a while though with a direct driver side impact like this. I am glad I was driving this car and not my truck without a driver airbag, I would likely not be typing this right now I think if I had been driving an older vehicle with the amount of force I exerted on that steering wheel. I broke the tilt, and the levers on the column to.
Feel free to move to off topic a little later, I wanted to post in the "high traffic section" so everyone got to see it. Some one have a heart and send me a G.C. to a message parlor.
BTW, all 5 lanes of traffic on Hwy 101 got shut down on this one with this pin ball game. I started in lane 5 and ended up in lane 1 which is the carpool lane. I was thinking I was going to get head on again, so I baled out for the K rail so I could jump it if need be.

Had you been driving the f350 you really would have killed the s 10 driver. Thats a burden for the rest of your life... One nobody wants to carry..... And your truck would have been totaled. Insurance would total it for a tiny bent bumper or fender....
