Nah, only two, actually.  The first was in the mid-'80s, when I was 15 or
so -- again, I was in the passenger seat, and again, the car spun out of
control and went backwards into something.  On *that* occasion, I was
temporarily knocked out, and I thought the bump on the back of my head was
the coolest thing that had ever happened to me -- until then, I'd only
ever seen such things in cartoons.  :)  I was also intrigued by the fact
that my memories of the last few hours *before* the accident were all
jumbled up.  I felt sorry for the driver, though -- he had only had his
license for a few weeks, so it wasn't the best of times for *him*.
