Glad to see you walk away OKAY.
Safety design in the car works very well. My little question is:
R56 Mini comes with "cheaply built" armrests on both doors. While it is annoying on a daily basis, my understand is on a collision like this, these armrests can easily detach and deform to absorb the impact in a side collision. Does it help in your case?

That is nice to know that safety works!
I'm most of the time effing scared of those 15-18 year olds from my school... especially everyone is driving cars bought with oil money... and its texas :(
The crash rate is about 2 cars per day... thank god for Early release!
But I don't know how much longer til I get in wreck... My Mini S had near misses of people switching lanes and accelerating... almost rear ended me twice... One were so bad I wrote a police report because I almost understeered into an small entrance for a park... a near collision with Tahoo vs X3.....

In most cars that impact spot is a guaranteed trip to the hospital. Mini's are supposed to be some of the safest autos out there, even though some say size and weight would deminish it a little.
It would seem this one did a very good job at protecting you. I hope Santa will see fit to reward you with another one. Glad to hear you walked away.

I will post the two pics I took at the wreck yard later. The buckling is not noticeable in the pics but I only had a few minutes to get my stuff so I didnt want to waste time snapping a bunch of pics.
Most of the people I have talked to about this accident all agree that with an impact like that, she COULD NOT have been going the speed limit of 30. She had to have been speeding.
What do you guys think?
