I know the feeling. I was T-boned in my 510 by a Ford LTD and it threw me
across 2 lanes of oncoming traffic and into a ditch. It is amazing that
another car didn't hit me.
I was only 18 and not living at home and got an entire $600 for my car and
nothing else.
That was 10 years ago, and to this day when a car comes out of a sidestreet
or if I am waiting at an intersection and a car is coming I still to this
day freak out a little bit and get anxious.
Drives my wife nuts when I will wait at an intersection and let a car go by
because I think its going too fast.
