I was hit broad-side in my first car. I was traveling on a road which was two lanes in each direction, with no stop signs, but cross streets every block. (Speed Limit 25... adjacent to Gonzaga University's Campus). Someone ran a stop sign and hit me in the driver-side door. I ended up spun-around, facing almost back the way I had been coming. I never thought about the fact that the car was in gear when I was hit, but I remember turning it off when I came to rest (I must have put it in neutral after depressing the clutch). I would have been in second gear during the collision.
Just something that came to me.
At the time, I'd been driving a stick for about three years. That car was totaled, and my replacement was the one I was chased in. Both e30 BMW's ('85 325e, and '89 325iS), both great cars.
