My Volvo suffered a compressed bumper shock, broken headlight assembly and damaged headlight trim (still cost his insurance $3k as I lost patience when he decided to lie - but that's off topic).
The Ranger's radiator blew when it smashed into the engine/fan and the frame/steering linkage bent such that it would not turn right.
I drove home. He went home in a squad car and the truck stayed there for weeks.

Credit card touring. Hot shower, a massage, and a restaurant at the end of each day.
I haven't done it, but that's the way I would do it if I did do it.

the only part of this concept that baffles me is clothing. what do you wear at night between rides, and how do you get fresh cycling clothes?

talking about idiotfest, I've decided I will no longer carry anything with me other than a mobile phone for all future rides.

I once did one of those ride across the state events. It was Delaware though, so we had to do it twice to make it worth while.

It could be worse.
Have you tried reading the driving safety vs. bike safety thread? Many in the BikeForums weenieverse simply don't have a clue how to analyze statistics.
