    Yeah, I remember vividly sliding into the undercarriage of the semi, watching in slow motion through my window as the two vehicles met. I felt certain I was going to die. The lamest thing IMO was what my last thoughts would have been...just nothing really. I was just in shock staring wide-eyed and mouth agape like a fish on a dock. The closest feeling that was able to cut through the shock was a vague feeling of helplessness. I didn't even have a thought in my head, but if I did, the closest to what I was feeling would have been "this is lame."

I've always felt bad about that. It was such a terrible moment of hopelessness.

Haha, I definitely hope you don't feel even .00001% bad on my account with some sort of weird guilt thing for putting me in that situation or anything. Complete accident, and Everything turned out great. Cool story, interesting perspective gained, got more than the blue book value of your car from insurance co, and still accomplished visa mission. If I had a magic wand I could wave and make it never have happened I wouldn't even want to do it one bit.
