Glad you and the kid are doing good after all that. I gotta admit, seeing the car like that was eery as hell for me.
Great to see the car did what it was supposed to in this accident.

It was a 2005 Chrysler 300…he ran the red at such a high rate of speed, his car landed about 200ft ahead of mine, took out 2 small trees, and flipped over in the opposite lane

Was it one of those very tricked out 300s that some people try to make look like Bentleys?

Wow that is an incredible impact and for that 300 to do all of that post contact is some heavy duty energy. Hate to say it but I am glad you were in that car it probably did a lot to save your life. I get what people are saying about the car being replaceable but to those who love cars they are part of us and they have a meaning otherwise we'd all have Toyota Corollas if it was just about getting from A-B. So I know somewhere in your brain housing group that part hurts too and for that I am sorry you are going through that.
