Frank_Lee, I wish it was that easy. Word on the street is the DB9 was doing 200 km/h (120 MPH) when it hit. Stupidity in the general populace and physics are two things I have total faith in. Stupidity tells me that I could be lit up like the 4th of July and these morons still wouldn't have seen me, and at those speeds it wouldn't matter. And physics tells me that a 3900 pound DB9 moving at those speeds has to expel all of that impact energy somewhere. My 1800 pound plastic Insight won't soak that up. They'd have to use dental records to identify what was left of me. Silvia on the other hand, I'd walk away. Full frame, 5000+ pounds of '90s GM steel. As much as I hate her, for the 5 mile commute I have to the office, and the 7 mile commute to the auction, I have to say I am willing to fork out the gas money to feed the 454. Most people use the eco car to get to work and have the big fancy car to use for everything else. They don't live in Richmond lol. Here, you take the urban assault vehicle to the office, and the Insight if you are going out of town!
