As the Z passed her, the Z clips a Pathfinder in front of my wife who was driving my X. The Pathfinder spins a few times and corrects itself, but the Z drifted horizontally and spun a few times as the front tires blew. She noticed glass breaking and airbags deploying and smoke and flames begain to spew around the car. She veered right and left through the middle dodging both vehicles. She said that if it had been her Accord, she would not have been able to brake and maneuver the way she did. I told her "next time, you're taking the Accord"
good to hear your wife is OK...I told my neighbor, who's a field engineer for BMW, about what happened and he said that you don't realize all the safety features the X has until you get into a situation like that.
