seeing the aftermath of other massive Vibe/Trix accidents I would have confidence I would be relativly uninjured.I would still have had a really bad day though! I would not be a happy camper.

i dont think it's a dealership mistake, just plain stupidity, i mean how hard is it to mistake reverse for drive, he musta floored it and wasnt paying attention to notice that he was going forward and not backwards

One story states that he hit the gas instead of the brake, the other says he was in drive instead of reverse.... I could see the gas/brake being more understandable than the drive/reverse. The second story also states that it was at a condo, so nothing to do with a dealer...
