hey JP,
I'm so glad you're ok and your kids and wife weren't in the car.
i know you liked the mini van but a few years ago my uncle in a pickup truck totaled a minivan (it looked like a can that was crushed on the forehead of a frat guy) when the nanny driving it pulled out infront of him, not paying attention to the traffic. He, and everyone else around him stopped and freaked out cause he didn't hit the minivan going very fast (thank the lord) but the car seats and toys that were in the backseat were visible (barely) and they thought that there were children in the car that had been crushed. i know that i won't get a minivan cause of that alone- he was going maybe 35-40 mph and the whole thing was totalled. thank the lord there was no one else in the car and the nanny walked away with some bruises but nothing else. he hit the van from the rear and it still crunched like that-- i dunno, just something to think about. they're not as safe as everyone imagines.sorry if my sentence structure isnt so wonderful- i'm feeling lousy and can't think right.
