Glad everyone's OK; hope you and your wife have a Merry Christmas and a GREAT 2009! Let us know if the insurance company fixes or scraps your '04.

Heres a pic, doesn't look too bad???
I'm sure the airbags are going to be pricey to replace also?!? Both went off.

Wow, that's amazing for the speed you were going! You're right, the airbags are gonna cost lotsa $$$; there have been stories about shops stuffing the cavities with rags and using a new cover to hide everything. True?.........who knows

I figure somewhere between 30-40 mph. The speed limit on that road is 40 mph and I don't usually speed. The wife tells me she thinks I was speeding up right before the crash, I dunno. I wasn't on the brake at all. Someone was surely watching over us yesterday, that I DO believe.
