I was in the front seat in an accident in an Orange 2002 BMW. Not the year. The model. 

Siblings in the rear were fine. Mother split her lip on the steering wheel and I think my front tooth was broke. Baby tooth. 

Car was totaled on the freeway. 

If you can't put kids in the front. You can't have large families in the US.
