Yow... glad to hear that you're okay but damn that sucks :(

Man I've seen some pretty scary things driving home late at night myself, I always make sure that I take it easy at night, 'cause even if you're 100%, you never know about the person next to you... or oncoming on a two lane road :blink:

Yeah the Focus doors are damn solid things... makes me wonder how they get such a poor side impact rating... I've opened lighter fire rated doors :P
