>passenger would have had much chance to survive this particular crash.
>The driver air door still works fine, the seat is intact, my greatest

>The irony is that I had finished it completely the day before, after

>Today I'm sad and my ribs hurt, my neck took a little hit too.

>Damn! Hope your world is going ok.
