Wow... glad wife is OK. I took my wife from a Volvo XC70 AWD Wagon to an X3. Want her in a quality, safe ride.
Cars can be replaced... family can not.

This is why I keep my BMW's in my garage I believe they are one of the safest cars! This was one of the cars I crashed at 230Km/h into a forest but walked off shaking the dirt of my shoulder... I dont have pics of my E70 X5 that I crashed though, the front wheel came of and some major body dents in the front.
I dont wear seat belts as i believe its a lot safer without them especially when speeding I ended up in the back seat of this Bimma

Were you a crash-test dummy in another life? You're lucky you weren't killed in any of your accidents...obviously, it's your choice but I think the odds/facts clearly prove that wearing a seat belt is usually the best thing to do. I won't waste any more server resources debating the virtues of seat belt use, etc. but I had to at least say something!
