I'm ok. The weird thing is the passenger side airbag went off without anybody there. I thought the passegner side airbag was not suppose to deploy if no ones there. I think the car is totaled, how much do you think will the insurance compensate me? I only had 15,003 miles on it.

That sucks! Sorry to hear about the accident dude. Hopefully they'll total it, if not there will be a lot to be fixed.

We both have insurance. I will refuse to take it back if it is not totaled by the adjustor because I know as an engineer they can't make it the same.

Wow I'm so sorry. Hope you're alright and continue to feel okay. I assume thats the other persons car in the back ground. Looks pretty bad. Sorry to hear and see something like this. I totaled my old Lexus so my heart goes out to. Wish you the best in the future
