To: null and void

What model did you have? And what kind of SUV hit you?
One of the most awful things I ever saw was in Europe — two trucks crashed into each other, with one of those clown car Minis squashed between them. Truck drivers were okay, that mini driver...
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes I say. I don’t understand the allure for those tiny clown cars other than idiots think they’re protecting Mother Gaia.
My Honda Odyssey is a tank, but its old.

Outback. Dunno what kind of SUV. It was black. othe than that, SUVs all look pretty much the same.

The last thing I remember before the crash was the grill of the SUV barely a car's length from my door and closing fast as I slid sideways on the ice and snow towards him.

Nice Asian Indian family, all OK. The young son was very impressed/upset by all the bent metal, I squatted down next to him and said something like 'It looks bad doesn't it?' A nod. 'Actually it's good.' 'huh?' "Yup. It's designed to do that, that's called a crumple zone. Every wrinkle and bend took energy, each of those folds and creases absorbed energy and kept it from making it to the passenger compartment. That's one of the things that protected you, your mom and dad!' a second nod and a smile of understanding...

The other driver managed to spin his SUV so we hit front fender to front fender then rear fender to rear fender.

Side airbags protected my skull, but I still managed to crack a rib.

It was a very cold 4 hours until the second tow truck showed up, my car was too bent for the first one.
