We
spun under the trailer, watched the windshield fold down, the tops
shatter, then caught UNDER the truck and spun around backwards.
I was relived that it would soon all end, thinking that the truck was
going to stop.
To my surprise, we started to ACCELERATE, this is when we
stared to panic a little. The driver of the rig had no idea we were
under the trailer. We got dragged like this for what seemed forever.
Going back to the scene we realized that he pulled us about a mile.
Finally I started to see things slow down, I knew things we're coming
to and end. We finally came to a stop. Thank God!!!

I open the
door, and stepped out of the car. Not a single bump or bruise. Renee,
on the other hand, was stuck in the car. Not pinned or anything, and
not hurt (except of a gash in her elbow) but not enough room to get
out. The driver of the rig ran around and couldn't believe what he
saw. More amazing to him was the fact that I walk out as if nothing
happened and that Renee was ok as well. He figured we were dead, as
did everyone else who showed up on the scene.

Everyone was in disbelief that we walked away from this accident.
Unfortunately, the Formula T-top is no more.
Now it will become a roadster
We will try to salvage the car seeing that it was one of our favorites
and saved our lives.
I kept telling everyone there that if anyone talked smack about the
safety of a Fiero, tell them about what you just witnessed.

I guess you
can now say your seat covers are "crash tested"! :-) They survived
REALLY well. If it wasn’t for the people factor, there would have been
NO damage!
