Jenner maybe he was driving in reverse (happens all the time on my block)? I actually interpreted it as the S2000 was t-boned by the escort's front, which was rear ended by the Thunderbird, which was then hit in the rear by the Jeep.

Here is what I think happened. His brother lost control and slid into the back of the Escort. The Escort hit the Jeep then the Jeep hit the Thunderbird. The question is what was his brother doing before he lost control?

gdonahue, your explanation makes more sense, but looking at the pictures the jeep and thunderbird don't even appear anywhere near the escort. Plus the airbags deployed in the escort. Don't you have to be moving at a certain speed in order for that to happen? So the Escort had to have been moving.

So the car was totaled. Now it's time to heal. At least I enjoyed it while I had it. Thank God no one was hurt. Thanks for all of your support.

OK, I'll ask the question: what are you going to get now, another S?

You know what.... I don't know yet. I don't think I'll get another one though. I think I might be moving on.

Well keep us posted. You know you can always hang around s2ki just to get the s2k karma even if you buy a different car.
