Default S2K + Semi = Wall

This happened about 5 months ago. Semi merged into my lane and spun me into the wall. I walked away ok, the car is almost back to new.

Glad to hear you're ok. Btw I was rearended by a blazer about a year ago. Blazer was totalled, S looked like yours. Woman's excuse was 3 part- she was on celli, she was late, and she didn't see my car because it was too low. In the body shop, the guy showed me the frame of an Evo and told me what a pos they are. We have tuff little cars.

I'm wondering the same thing. My bet is no.

Yes he did. He ran to my car to make sure I was ok. The car took the hit very well. Everything from the seat belts to the brakes did there job.
