Finding myself upside down in my pickup truck, thanks to a teenager and her cellphone, getting into some sort of position to kick out a window in time would have been impossible if the truck were on fire.

In fact, my first and main thought was 'pleasedontcatchonfirepleasedontcatchonfirepleasedontcatchonfire'
