My one foray into compact cars (Dodge Aries) was terminated suddenly one morning (about six months after I paid it off) on the way to work by a college student who blew two red lights and hit me at 50mph without even putting the brakes on.I'm amazed you're still with us. I was hit from behind by a driver who "didn't see me" and hit full force at about 30mph. She exited her car through the windshield (obviously no seat-belt engaged, along with her brain.) I have permanent damage to my back & neck.
I now have been driving a Suburban for almost ten years. The next fool to rear-end me will be the only one hurt IMO.

Well, I was lucky. I saw her coming out of the corner of my eye and came to a stop just in time for her car to hit and glance off the front of my car. If I hadn't seen her in time to stop, I would probably have also suffered permanent injury or wound up in the morgue.
