Traffic came to a sudden stop in an unusual area, the guy in fornt of me stopped hard and I couldn't stop hard enough.
I don't think it's totaled but I don't know yet, I should find out on monday. |

Right after the accident I felt fine, a little dazed but okay otherwise.
As for the air bag going off. I guess it did its job. I have a small burn (like a sunburn kind of) on my hand from the powder discharge. it really didn't hit me as hard as I've heard some people say.
It was a fairly low speed crash i was going less than 30 mph when i hit the brakes. not sure how fast on impact.
In all I'm impressed with how well the car handled the impact. the crumple zones and airbag did what they were supposed to, and i was able to walk away.
There was no noticeable damage to the passenger compartment. but it looked like everything from the fenders forward was damaged. |

tomorrow morning I'll be going to the body shop and getting with my insurance people.
I'll try to get some better pictures. and I'll let everyone know the outcome as to the extent of damage. |
