whoa.

Count me in on the "SUVs are unsafe" bandwagon. Last night, as Nate and I were walking to our car from a wedding reception, we heard this bang, turned around, and saw the following: a station wagon skid crazily through the intersection, and an SUV skid sideways, fly, and flip over and land upside down. It was probably one of the scariest things I've ever seen (and remember, I once hit a guy on a motorcycle). That SUV was so heavy, and must have been going pretty fast, to get air like that. Yikes. If I'm ever in the market to buy an SUV, I will check that crash test rating pretty seriously.

  1. Wow, I've never even seen a car accident take place, much less one that involves a car flipping over. I hope you recover from the trauma of watching that.

    I too watched an SUV flip over three times in the median next to me on I-94 once. I thought that only happened in movies.

    Amanda creamed a guy on a Ninja. She didn't see him until he was "rolling across her hood."
