I will ~never~ understand why that happens so often. Had it occurr to my Elan many years ago. Caddy ran a stop sign, made a right turn in a residential area (25 MPH) and managed to chuff me in the butt hard enuff to deform the fuel tank, trash the decklid and mash up the tail lamps. Rectal-Cranial Inversion about covers it. I was under the impression the Caddy driver was on a noon tryst mission at the Holiday Inn a block away. He grudgingly paid, without insurance company or LEO involvement. All really hush-hush.
