RE: she survived
So glad that she is ok, and even better that she is home. That is the type of call I hope I never have to get. I'm sorry that you did, but at least it turned out well in the end.
Being a firefighter for almost 17 years now, I'm amazed at the number of people that are walking away from badcrashes. People can say all they want about how crappy cars are made these days etc.. but I can seethe dropin the amount of serious injuries over those years. Granted, that's just one persons viewpoint.. but my Fire Station is located right near a main interstate highway running through the city, and another major freeway going another direction. Wemake a lot ofwrecks.

Your family isblessed Shortbus! Same thing happened to my sister-in-law about 15 years ago, she was 17 driving an Astro van, she was changing cassette tapes on a country road and started drifting off the shoulder then over-corrected and rolled it I don't know how many times. The top of the van was completely crushed, her and her friend survived with minor bruises (the van didn't make it).

I'm glad she is ok shorty. We are all here for you if you need us.
This just reminds me of why I work so hard; so that I can afford things like my Hummer that I know will do a better job protecting the people I love more then a car can. It makes you look at your truck a little more and not take it for granted, that and of course, your family (real nice way I prioritize things huh
)
So, your daughter was driving by herself?
