A minivan stopped short on a major roadway, visibility was shit and my two youngest were fighting in the back seat. Fortunately, I had a split second to slam on my brakes, and even though I skidded, I took away significant momentum.
As I said, we were fortunate.
My eldest, in the passenger seat looked at me, deadpan, stating "Dad, you hit that guy." to which I responded - "No shit."
After the cops, and the police report (I wasn't cited, even though it was my fault) I drove it 7 miles home (!). The alignment and steering were fine, even the left headlight worked. The radiator ... not so much.

Holy crap, didn't see this. Glad you are alright, when you drove home was your car smoking and making strange noises while your wheels bumped up and down ala a Donald Duck cartoon?
