Sorry to hear. Glad you are OK.
The MB lady was probably on the phone. I am sure her car has more damage as she hit the crumple zone.

hey doc...glad that you are okay...I just do not understand how people can miss a large vehicle in front of them. My truck was recently hit in the Wal-Mart parking lot...did the Starbucks people give you at least a drink to calm your nerve?

Sorry to hear that. The important thing is that you and your family are OK.

I was alone, actually. And the odd thing is that my son had to stay at the house to do some things. I am glad, since he would have been on the impact side. Yet another way that it sure could have been worse!

No, not a drop!! Although, I would have been happier for a more "adult beverage" then, rather than caffeine!

That will not buff out.

Glad you are ok.

The battery and fuel pump disconnect likely detonated...the insurance company will get a $500 bill just for the cable.

Thanks, I am a bit stiff today, but nothing important.

The emergency flashers came on, and in fact, wouldn't turn off. My "BMW Assist" worked fine ("Sir, are you OK?"), which was pretty cool. I didn't try to restart the engine, of course. I didn't know anything about any disconnect. Tell me more about that, and does it sound like mine detonated?
