Here is another point, Lifeflight just lifted off behind my house becasue a Neon and a F250 got tangled. The F250 driver walked out and laid out on the lawn, the Neon driver and passanger were air lifted out. The firefighters had to open that Neon like a tuna can. Not pretty.

I thought the Neon passanger was lucky that he was riding in the back, I also thought that was strange, A driver and a passanger in the back? That is until I saw the yellow cover over the front passanger area. Well, its what I hoped it wouldn't be. I'm a God fearing man and if you are too I'm sure a small prayer for the injured/disceased would be welcomed by the family members and friends.

I didn't want to hear that about Neons, mine gets 39 mpg on trips and 35-36 in town. Guess I'll have to be more careful.

The deceased was a 13-year-old boy. Here is a picture of the Neon after everyone was attended to...

I drove my wifes ranger today. All I could think about the entire 2 hours was how much I wish I was driving my truck. I HATE her truck. Even though her truck is 4wd, it still sits at the same height at all the small fwd cars driving around me. Way underpowered, I hated how it downshifted and had no power going up hills. In my truck, 6th gear all the way up the mountain with a trailer and it doesnt even feel it. I will NEVER sell my truck. I love my truck. Even though the seats are not that comfortable, they sure beat the hell out of a ferd ranger. I can't wait until I get everything done to it that I want to do.
