Just a quick explinations ... from my NECO post:
Quote:
Not a scratch on me ... small piece of glass grazed my forhead in one small spot, but it clotted up and isn't even noticable now ... shed rouhgly 4 drops of blood. I feel blessed to be alive!
Taking a corner too fast, spot a deer and swerve to miss him (not sure if he was on the shoulder on in the road ... it all happened too quickly). The road has gravel on it here and there on the asphalt in spots and It must have caused my back end to start coming out. Turned hard right, but got no feedback, so I put "both feet in" (brake & clutch) and held on for the ride.
Was out of the car within 15 seconds after a few choice words!
Basically, I was on marbles.

Glad you are okay and great to know you are safe in an SVT even through a rollover!
However, I hate to see SVTs end up like that!

Loser! The cougar in no way looks better than an SVT! 
j/k
They both look good but the Coug does not look better. Unless you trick them out the Cougs look like Chick cars to me where the SVT looks like a sporty family car.

Man, that's too bad. I really get scared to drive my car sometimes. No matter how safe you are, something can always happen out of nowhere. I think these cars are very very safe cars. I took a major impact to the rear and sandwiched my car into another car. $6k in damage but not one person was injured at all. They are built very solid. Glad your ok though. That's the most important part.
