Friday night a woman hit me head on. I was going about 45 passing under a green light when she decided to make her turn right into me and ruin my summer. Thankfully no one was hurt other than soreness and large headaches. I was surprised by how many airbags there were- I could barely get out the car b/c of them. Just thought i'd share my experience.

always assume the worst of other drivers cuz ya never kno
 
That sucks but ultimately it's just a car.....it can be replaced. Glad you came out of it ok.
 
yea glad you came out of it ok!!!! the car looks terrible...so whats next 6-6???:naughty:
 
All the airbags blew up even if it's front impact? Does every airbags pop out regardless which side you get hit?

onewheelup, thanks, yea your right i'd rather it be the car than the person any day.

BigLrg, Thanks. hmm 6-6 Mabye lolol

listentoremix, well that depends on what the insurance company says after they asses the damage. If they decide it's a total loss than i'll have a new car. ill find out this week

For the driver seat all the airbags came out including the one's in the seat, steering wheel, side of door, and top of door because thats the side that withstood the most impact. On the passenger side only one came out.
 
Damn glad your safe. These cars are pretty safe, many many bags

I am pretty sure this is a loss. I would be amazed if the drivers axel didnt rip the tranny apart and damage the engine in some way, but since the car is new they will probably attempt to fix it, but honestly i wold get rid of QUICK and get something else. With so much damage i wouldnt want to drive it even if they fixed it...
 
Dude that just sucks. Glad to see ur ok thou. Ahh new car smell......
 
most likely is a total loss...it'll cost too much to fix just the front end along...also all the air bags...but glad that you are okay =)
 
Once the airbags go off, it won't be the same. When the airbags in my Passprt went off, The smell of gunpowder or whatever it is they use to inflate to bag, will not go away. I say if the airbags go off, it should be totaled.
 
Sucks,

What I don't understand is that if she was doing right turn as you were passing on green light, shouldn't your right side be damaged, not the drivers side?

yea that's what I was thinking. The damage alone is gonna be more than what the car is worth.

that's one of the things i remember vividly all the smoke in the car and not being able to see anything. was not a pleasant smell. i thought the car was on fire
 
If you are having headaches, make sure you go to a doctor/clinic/hospital and get checked out.

sorry, she decided to make a left turn. As i was crossing the intersection having a green light, she, coming from the opposite way, decided to make her left turn at the last second. i couldn't do anything by then

Something like that, I've heard a lot of stories of people who were in accidents and gotten a severe concussion but didn't know it. The only good news about it is they pass away in their sleep.
