How hard was the crash? How did the XM stand up to the crash forces?

it wasn't exactly headon but i ran up the back of a stationary van at about 20=30 mph.the van was a write off and the cost of the repairs to mine meant that it would have been a writeoff as well.the design of the xm kept the damage to everything forward of the radiator.if i had been in a mini or something similar the engine would have been in my lap.

Sounds encouraging! (for us XM drivers, that is, not for van drivers!)
