Ur is an ancient Mesopotamian city. I believe the word you are looking for is your, which is the possessive form of you. This should not be confused with you're, a contraction I'm sure you are familiar with, as people no doubt often say to you, "You're an idiot."

I am sincerely interested in seeing how the S2000 does in side-impact tests. Not just some bar hitting the side at 30 M.P.H., but a real car.
A Jeep Grand Cherokee hit me last month going about 15-20 M.P.H. and didn't even touch the reinforcement bars behind the door skin.
My blood pressure DOES rise quite a bit when I drive near SUV's or cross intersections late at night. Somehow the idea of driving with the top down and a headlight from a Chevy Tahoe aiming right for my head isalways in the back of my mind when driving. Or you may insert any other high "off the ground" vehicle that you choose.
As for the spelling, yes, it is very annoying, but I can never tell if someone is typing incorrect on purpose or if they just don't know any better. I like to think my spelling is good, but I'll be the first to admit that my sentence structure can be horrible.

A local S2000 owner was involved in an accident a while back. He ended up broadsiding an SUV that ran a red light. The S2000 was totaled by the insurance company but the driver was fine. The interesting thing is that he told me the SUV flipped onto its side from the impact!

That looks like a good performance to me. There seems to be no deformation of the A-pillar and it looks like the passenger compartment remains intact.
Why would the S2000 A-Pillar deform in a head on or off-center head on crash? Our A-Pillar merely supports the windscreen, there is no weight\pressure on it. The A-Pillar itself is along for the ride (unless you can't keep the shiny side up, then it works it's tail off keeping the weight off the jerk off who flipped).
I also note that the supporting members just south of the A-Pillar buckle in this crash. (a tenth of a second into the crash) I'm going to imagine the driver's foot well was compressed (not dramatically). I'm also imagine that front wheel was pushed back into the wheel well, which is than compressed into the driver's foot area. I'm a big guy, that didn't look comfortable from my leg's perspective.
I have no doubts that this is one tough lil car. I'm just not gonna test that theory personally.
Oh, and holy CRAP that was a violent crash.
The mirrors folded forward like it was nothing (our mirrors fold?!?!)

i think the S gets a **** side impact test. Front and rear are ***** I think. Rollovers are either **** or *****.
I can attest that my 2001 S did great in a 30+mph rear impact from a F150.

That video is the NCAP crash test, the conclusions can be found here:

It performed very well.
