<x-flowed>I wasn't planning on hitting any brick walls:)
if he would have appeared i front of me while i was going 25 i still would 
have had alot of damage, 'course then i could have collect insurance money 
off of him:)  people on the highway go 65, so how many times is that?  they 
are just as prone to accident.  i dont know what i was thinking, i'll have 
to remember my car next time:)
