"Saved the life of myself and my best friend"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

We had trouble with the air conditioning (a faulty hose I believe).

Headliner on the sunroof started to fall off.

Slight wear on seat leather.

General comments?

This was my first car, we had no major mechanical problems even with the high mileage.

This car saved my life and the life of my best friend. We had been stopped waiting for traffic to clear to make a left hand turn when a tractor trailer with a CAT front loader on the trailer coulnt stop. The driver caught the back corner of my car, tearing off about a square foot of the bumper and quarterpannel, snapping the rear axle from the suspension and the large bolts on the front wheels of the tractor tore into the side of the car, the impact threw us into traffic where we were hit on the same side by a Honda. the car held up and both myself and my friend walked away unharmed.
