      I meant no disrespect. I just find it pretty amazing that the driver of the Fiesta came through it as well as they did.

      Sorry for your loss.

    Wow.

    If I’m in a Ford Fiesta that gets hit by a Suburban AND a hay truck and all I have are moderate injuries I am buying a lottery ticket immediately.
