I owned my tiny 2001 sc1 for only a month before I had my accident. There were wet leaves on the road and a Honda Pilot coming the other way lost control and swerved into my side of the road, hitting me head on. I don't know if I'll ever experience anything as terrifying as that massive hunk of SUV thrusting itself directly at me with nothing but the front of this little Saturn protecting me. Before the impact I was sure that I was going to be severely injured and possibly even killed.
Aside from the scrapes on my wrist from the airbag deploying I had no injuries whatsoever. The first responders insisted I would have back pains later but they never came. Meanwhile the driver of the Honda Pilot (which had twice the mass of my saturn) was unconscious.
When driving it's easy to forget that you're surrounding by massive metal objects moving at incredible speeds that can instantly kill you. In my case they did not, thanks to the people who made my Saturn.
