I was t-boned by an SUV.

I've had three that were serious:

1) On the way to ConFURence IV with palabrajot we collided with a Semi at 70mph on black ice. We both walked away without even so little as a bruise, but the car was totalled.

2) A horse reared up in front of me, striking with his forelegs. His hoof passed so close to my ear that I heard the rush of air as it flew past. Had I dodged left instead of right, I'd be dead.

3) A speeding car ripping around a blind corner almost got me in a head-on collision. As it was, I slammed on the brakes so hard that my engine stalled, and we missed each other by about an inch...

So yeah, I believe in Guardian Angels, 'cause if it were pure luck I should have won the lottery by now. :)

Had the horse thing myself. It was dark, horse kicked with both hind hooves. Never saw what actually HAPPENED due to the darkness, but they got close enough to my face that I could feel the air pressure. Not fun.

Well bald tires and no brake pads will do that. :P
