Thanks guys. Yeah, the more I think about it the more fortunate I realize I am. Just a few seconds earlier and that could have changed everything in my life.

Hopefully things will work out such that I'll be in another S sometime soon. For me, they really are the perfect car. Insurance should be pretty cut and dry because he ran a red and multiple people stopped to be witnesses.

Heh...to think I was always worried that Highway 17 (a semi-daily commute for me) would be the real trouble...

Boring old Los Gatos, of all places. Lark avenue is one to watch out for. Lots of people terminally minding their own businesses :\

Thanks. Nice to know who the other red S2k around town has been. Watch out for Chevy trucks because they apparently hate us
