I hope you are Ok.

My dad had a 1988 Honda Civic DX Hatchback. One day my brother (this was the first time he drove it) took it to the garage he worked at to have new tires put on it. He was hit from behind trying to get on the onramp near 22nd st in Tucson, AZ. The car held up and even though my brother was not wearing his seatbelt he walked away ok. My dad didn't want to show my mom the car, but it held up. My dad had the car "clipped" with another Civic that had been hit head on and drove it for another 175,000 miles (car had over 250,000, when sold).

It just goes to show how good design is important.
