Dude,

Sorry to hear about your accident. As long as you?re all right, that's the important thing. Having also been in a serious collision several years ago in my first Myst. a beautiful 97. I can say without any doubt that I totally believe in the crash worthiness of those vehicles.

I was in a 5 car pile up on a highway coming home from work one sunny afternoon. Still not sure what happened. I was hit from behind then next thing I know I'm wedged under a Honda Accord. It was resting on the A-pillars of my car. The Accords exhaust pipe was about 5 inches from my forehead. Most of that car's weight was resting on my A-pillars.

The cop helped me out of my car and after looking at the damage was quite surprised that my car was still holding that weight! Keeping in mind that there was a Maxima parked in my back seat!

Long story short, the insurance company wrote of my 18-month-old car and I went straight back to my Ford dealer and purchased a 98 Myst. I have since moved into a 99 and loving every minute of it.

I have a standing order at my dealership for one of the new Contour/Mystiques in 2004! That's right, they're coming back. We'll get the newly re-designed Mondeo. I recently drove on in Europe and its a great car!

I hope things work out for you. Best of luck.

Cheers,
