    Little link on an accident that happened just down the road from me. A guy in a VW Lupo (smaller than a VW Golf) sandwiched between two trucks and lives.

    Never want to be in that situation but I would hope the Prius would protect me. :eek:

    I think (and hope too) that the Prius would protect us.

    I've seen many smashed cars in my job, but the picture on this report looked bad and the man survived! I always thought that being the filling in a truck sandwich was a fast track to meeting your maker.
