A couple of years ago, my prior 911 got T-boned by a Dodge Ram on a rainy night. I have no memory of the accident, but from what I can tell from the photos and the police report, he came across the double yellow, hit my left front corner, spun my car so the the primary impact was to the driver's side, and then went right over the top of my car. The Ram was totaled. The picture shows what happened to the 911 (an 8 month old 06 C4S).
Anyway, I credit the high strength steel and other crash protection features of the car with me being here today
The wife buys that story, it was only two years later that she let me replace it with an 09 C4S

Just saw this comment as I was going to mention the same thing. She was in a "tank" of a Benz and still died. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W140
At stupid speed it's hard to think most would walk away alive in any vehicle except say...an MRAP.
