Well it survives a hit from a mini mee. Hopefully it does the same from something a little more substantial. Not that i want another firsthand report from you

Jerry i assume this is your car. Glad to know all is good and your ok and no injurys.

The S can be repaired!

So, who was driving? Couldn't be you - it said 'younger'.

On a serious note, glad everyone is OK. We have pretty tough cars, don't we?

Hey, you should have seen me do my "Dukes of Hazzard" routine to get out to the car

OK, maybe I should "edit" to say slightly younger

All that really matters is no injuries. Thank goodness. Doors can be replaced.


So, what color is the next one going to be?

Wow, sorry your white hot S got hurt but I'm really glad you didn't, Jerry. So, how did you get out of the car? Passenger door?

Sure looks like a mess, I'm sure the body shop will have it looking good as new, it's just the few weeks being without the car in the middle of June. Next time you want to do a crash test leave the S2000 home.

We have so many people run red lights around here that I ALWAYS slow down and look both ways if I am the first in an intersection. Sorry about your accident! Glad you're OK!

Sorry to hear this Jerry, and glad your OK!

Sorry to hear about your accident, but the important thing is that there were no injuries.

Shall we all guess how much the repair bill will be?
