okay so this is part of a story that me and my friend are writting and this part is the part of the crash,
no harsh comments please, comment more on the content than the grammer.

I slammed the door shut and clicked in the seat belt, as Mum always insisted, for safety reasons, or it’s the ‘lords wish’, I’d of scoffed at that if I could.
Mum handed over a crying Abbi and I placed her on my knee, rocking her back and forth and letting weird cooing noises escape from my mouth.
She grabbed my finger and placed it in her mouth, her one front tooth scraping it visiously, and I cried and snatched my finger away just as Dad started the car.
"Ouch Abbi!" I snapped, placing my finger in my own mouth to try take the stinging throb away.
Mum turned to scold my baby Sister, but Abbi’s lip quivered slightly and our eyes widened in horror at the sign.
"No, now Abs, I didn’t mean to yell at you, don’t start cryi-" I begin to say, but her high pitched screams of terror rang out loud through the car, and me and Mum covered our ears. "For God sake Mia! Why did you yell at her!? Shut her up!" Dad pleaded from in front, and I searched all around for something for her to play with, but turned up with nothing.
"Give her the teddy bear!" Mum shouted from the front.
"Nothings here!"
I prayed to God that Abbi’s stupidly loud whail would stop, my eardrums would bust!
"Mia! It is here, you’re just being stupid!!" Dad grunted and his head moved to the back of the car, and he took one hand off the wheel to search roud the chairs and floor for the teddy.
My frantic eyes stuck on the outside as the car drove onto the other side of the road, which just so happened to have a huge, red lorry coming towards us.
Everything flashed before my eyes, memories of everything, family, friends, how in just a few seconds everything would be no more.
Thoughts whipped at a lightening speed through my head, and I had just enough time to scrutinise what was happening.
A loud horn blasted through the air, and the huge truck swivelled onto it’s side, protesting with the force the driver pressed against the brake.
It came sliding towards us, so fast I had little time to make my mouth move.
"Dad! The road!" I screamed, Dad’s head suddenly jumped, and a shocked hiss came through his mouth as his head turned towards me, his eyes horrified as they caught mine.
Not another second later, everything turned the most darkest shade of black.

My friend got in an accident in Texas. The other person ran a stop sign and was determined by police report as guilty party. She was going 35 MPH but the airbags did not deploy and the top portion of the seat belt did not lock. Fortunately, the bottom part of the belt held her in her seat but since air bag did not deploy and belt did not lock she hit the top part of the windshield. Her car was totaled out as the front of her car was all smashed in. She walked out of the accident but was taken to the ER for full ct scan. She had a huge bruise on most of her forehead and a long cut around her waist (in the shape of seat belt) and was diagnosed with spasms. Insurance company wants to give her $ 500.00 for loss wages plus ER costs and wants to put a cap of K in case she needs to go back for treatment. She feels good at the moment but she is afraid to take this deal as she feels a head injury may show up later on and then $ 5k would not be nearly enough to cover. What should she do? Is this enough? If not, what is a good number? Should she be worried about damage that may not be visible now? Another detail is that tow truck driver an ER’s personnel speculated on the airbag being faulty. Should she look for a lawyer? Insurance co seems very aggressive and are trying to push her to take the least amount possible. They were trying to trick her into literally saying she would not go back to seek medical care as a result of this accident but she did not say it as she is afraid as mentioned above. She is not getting the 5K in cash. Insurance co is just "setting it apart" in case she goes back for medical care.

Any help will be appreciated.

I’m looking for seat covers for my car and it’s nearly impossible. I have a 1999 Convertible Sebring Jxi. The two front seats are kind of bucket-style but have the seatbelt attached at the right hand corner. I really need seats but none of them seem to come with the opening for the seat belt.. What is that called? How do I search for them?

We’re about to have our first child. We don’t have a car but we live in a city and will need to travel by taxi once in a while. This means we need to get a car seat for the baby. We would prefer a seat that is strapped in the car just using the seat belt – don’t want one that needs a base as we’ll only have to store the base in our apartment. Can anyone recommend a car seat like this? It would also be good if the car seat could be used in a stroller frame as our ‘everyday’ stroller. Any advise would be much appreciated.

My 2002 Corolla only has seat belt anchors for 2 passengers. I have a 2 year old and twins on the way. How to cary them all without buying a new car? It is against the law to carry one in front.

I have the Eddie Bauer 3 in 1 convertible car seat and I feel like I have been wrangling with it for weeks to get it to fit properly.

The problem is my car is 16 years old, it’s in great shape.. But it doesn’t have those little anchor hook things. So I use the seat belt instead per the instructions. I am just not able to get the seat in tight enough. No matter what I do it moves about like a drunken sailor.

Any tips?

I seem to be having some kind of electrical problem with my car.

I hear a sort of clicking/shocking noise from near the firewall middle while inside the car; it sounds similar to a stun gun being discharged, and only occurs when I have the front defroster/main heater turned off. when i turn the defroster on, it goes away.

I have checked the battery cables and inspected the battery while the car is running, and i don’t see any electrical discharge, and cannot hear it while outside the car.

occasionally while driving, the seat belt light will come on, and sometimes just before i start it up. the dashboard information lights will go off, while they usually stay on for about 5 seconds after the car is started. also, i occasionally get a little shock while closing the door after exiting the vehicle, suggesting that something is expelling electricity into the frame or something metallic connected to the frame.

i believe it may be associated with water damage to an electrical component; it started happening about a week ago after i degreased and power-washed my engine well (i accidentally left a half-empty bottle of oil open in the space behind the headlight after topping off all my fluids).

does anyone know what component may be damaged, or how to solve this problem?

I have never had any electrical problems (haven’t had any problems with this car at all) before, and the problem seems to be either associated with and/or effecting the heat system.

What tools do you carry on/in your turnouts, and why? I have two door wedges on my helmet, a Husky razor/utility knife (razer on one end, knife on the other) that comes in handy on car wrecks cause the razor is easier to get out than a seat belt cutter and cuts it like butter, and a pair of lineman’s pliers for battery cables mostly. I keep the knife in my left coat pocket, and the pliers in my right coat pocket. Never cared for tool belts. I think they look silly, and most people that wear them carry more tools than they need. Your not there to fix their water heater, you know what I mean? What about you guys?
