Sad memories..  My 91 Eddie Bauer met it's end at 55 mph into a
telephone pole, when an ice storm had gone through the area some while
before I arrived.   When they pulled it off the pole, my front license
plate was stuck to the pole.  I peeled it off, then observed that I
could put my fist between the ground and the pole on the impact side.
I put my foot on the bumper, dead center and my knee was at the hood
line.  This was a version without air bags.  I got a bruise from the
seat belt.
A PC keyboard from the back had stuck itself into the windshield like
a dart, and a machining flat that I was transporting bent the back
seat to about a 30 degree forward angle.

That car also had the "firestone tires of death" that gave me 92kmiles
without ever rotating them.
I kept my tires inflated!
