I'm sick of paying for things because my car is bigger.

OK, darnit. I've finally quit laughing enough to ask, what's the deal with the kitten references. I've seen it many times and LMAO every time. Gotta have the back story on the kitten things.
Point me to the original thread or tell me here, but I gotta know.

I recently got into what should have been a fender bender in my school parking lot. I was pulling out of my space, and some girl flying through the parking lot slammed into me and pushed me into the car next to me. I realize that I have some fault because I did not see her when I pulled out, but she was going at least 30 in a marked 15. She hit my front bumper, which destroyed he car, and my flares caught the car next to me. When the officer arrived, he said that it looked like it was her fault for speeding, but because it was private property he had no jurisdiction. I ended up having to pay for everyone's cars because the insurance said that there was no proof she was speeding, and if I had not put my bumper on it would have "absorbed the shock" slightly hurting her car and not pushing me into the next. everyone who whitnessed it said she was speeding, even the person parked next to me. It just sucks that because I enjoy driving a jeep that I am now out 5k.

Thanks, Goody! I'm still laughing about that dang pic. Gotta drive home too. Gonna be a b*^%@ driving while I'm laughing. I actually think it is funnier now because I can almost hear some Jeeper saying, "If I hear someone else call a jeep a car, I'm going to kill a kitten".

ok either the modules is defective or this is one hell of accident. Found this on the internet, if you ever decide to go down this route you will need the real thing but think it interesting to know:
According to BMW, their system will deploy when the control module senses any of the following:
When the vehicle approaches a lateral angle limit of 62 degrees.
When the vehicle experiences a lateral acceleration of approximately 3 Gs.
When the vehicle approaches it's longitudinal angle limit at approximately 72 degrees.
When a combination of longitudinal acceleration and longitudinal angle would cause the vehicle to roll over in the forward direction.
When the vehicle becomes airborne and achieves weightlessness for at least 80ms.

well there is no way I could have but that much force because i was pulling out of a space and had only gone like 6 feet, so she had to have been speeding, or im completely reading it wrong, but thanks
