It happened yesterday morning.
As you can see the driver side (mine) got the brunt of it. Smashed my ribs into the steering column and today I'm all tensed up. Lung full of smoke. Nothing broken.
Fiance hurt her leg.
Got out pretty lucky actually.

55 MPH is pretty fast for a crash.. 
/me sends Urb a get well card with naked ladies on the back side..
Btw, is the car broken beyond repair? Looks like it in the pic.

Quite beyond repair. I've got several pictures for my insurance company (shit!) and you can see how much is missing from the front.

Ouch dude, lucky the car wasn't coming at you at 55mph aswell or something, because that'd be like driving into a wall at 110mph :/
At least your ok I guess, I mean, things could of gone worse.

I kinda like my new av. I think this one will stick. I kinda like the name Demonic Puppy too so if you see that elsewhere then its me.
I like the way the big estate car that I hit was a little crumpled and one of the rear lights was cracked. It was pretty much the equivilent of firing an empty coke can from a cannon into a tank. (My car being the can.)

Nasty. Glad you're both alright.
55 MPH is pretty fast for a crash..Yeah, that wasn't the closing speed, I don't imagine. You were driving on the right side of the road, right, Urby?

I am glad you're relatively unscathed. That's the most important thing.
I knew a friend who hit his head on the windshield during an accident, and he was never the same after that. He became very stupid, and he never finished college.
It was sad, because he used to be a pretty smart guy.
