How Safe Are ZL1's..........

Yesterday I was stopped at a light and was rear ended by medium duty commercial truck that according to the Florida hwy patrol was going between 45 and 50 mph (they commented that it took the truck 272 feet to stop after it made impact with me. I'm ok but she is totaled.

She was five weeks old........

People at the tow yard and collision center were amazed that I was not more seriously hurt. Have multiple scrapes and small cuts and my left thigh feels like a bowling ball dropped on it.

Here is the driver seat area and you can see the back seat is pushed pretty far forward.
