This story ( http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/custom/newsroom/chi-06071 4kane-wreck,1,7046004.story) doesn't say what year the Jetta was but on the news,
the police chief from Sugar Grove was commenting about how there was pretty
much nothing left of the Jetta but little clumps of metal. (If the link isn't
working, they basically think the Jetta was doing around 100mph, got airborne
and hit a escalade head on).

Well, any vehicle other than a Sherman tank will very likely just destroy
itself, and the people inside, if involved in an accident at 100 MPH. As you
said, John, be careful, people - and don't drive like idiots.

The interview with the police chief was just odd because he kept commenting
about how there was hardly anything left of the jetta. The driver of the
escalade was killed too, but his 2 children in the back seat survived. The
escalade might have done better if the Jetta wasn't airborne, but otherwise,
driving a tank wasn't as safe as thought...

So true but my parents were in an accident and the Jeep Cherokee that they
were driving saved their lives. It was hit by a large Domestic car that
luckily was NOT airborn. :-)
Both right doors were hit so hard the tops of them had such a large gap from
the top of the body you could actually climb into the Jeep from the top
without having to open the doors.
I got them that Jeep when their legally parked Rabbit was demolished by a
cab. Luckily they were not in the Rabbit at the time.
I found them another Jeep to drive.
fate can have a fickle finger at times.
So every one be safe and keep those wheels on the ground!

Jeepers!
Next time I strap a rocket to my roof, I'll be sure to drive where
there aren't any Escalades around. Stupid Escalades.
