Goodbye, my sweet '98 CSE 5sp

Well, while waiting for a car to make a left turn in front of me, my '98 five-speed CSE withstood the rear impact of a 3/4 ton Ford pickup going 60 mph without bothering to brake. The crush zone worked, though I'm glad the rear seat was empty. When I came to my senses, the front doors opened without a problem. I'd just filled the tank only five miles before, and not a drop spilled. I wish bumper height standards applied to all vehicles, though.
So, this is my farewell to this very useful bulletin board, and thanks to all who gave advice. I'll still be reading the NG900 bulletin board for my son's car, and I am looking at a 9-5 wagon but looking strongly at "Toyondas" <sigh>.
The car rests at Swedish Motors in Marietta, PA if you're looking for stuff.
Drive safely; just imagine everyone is out to get you.
Fred
