No,?  Yes, i could be the poster child for any number of things not to do in
life.  As i said, the force of my F-350 pick-up truck getting cole-cocked by
an ole man late to pickup someone at the train station, going 50 mph and hit
my door and with his little totaled Lumina picked up my truck off the ground
and careened me into a guardrail, and the tow truck driver said that the
worst place to get hit in a truck, was force more than a 100 lb. bag of
static grain.  Truman, how much force is in a truck going 55 mph and a car
going 50, with a combined weight of about 8,000 lbs,  hitting at a right
angle? ts
