My car got hit yesterday....great story about luck.

I had just finished washing my car and decided to meet up with some friends for dinner. I pulled into the parking lot and parked and was walking around the front when I saw a bumper coming at me from five feet and still doing ten or fifteen mph. I jumped but did not make it out of the way and was crushed in between the two vehicles. After a long ambulance-hospital mess I was found to only have crush injuries and no broken bones. I did realize an unseen safety feature. I reacted fast enough to get my feet over the bumper and was crushed in between a 03 dodge push bar and my grill which is quite forgiving thank god. Needless to say my car is pretty messed up needing headlights, grill, bumper, cross member is pushed into the radiator fan and a hood and I am hoping the other drivers insurance company will not try to total it. I still feel very very lucky.
