Default Just a little fender bender
Here's what happens when people don't pay attention!
Coming back from Las Vegas we stopped in Kingman AZ for some In -N-out burger. As I was leaving I crossed an interaction with a green light. Oncoming car also had green and she turned into us. Scared the crap out of me when the airbags went off! This actually happened the weekend after thanksgiving. The car was towed back to Las Vegas and we flew home. After 2 months it was finally finished and we flew back out to get it. My wife is glad to have her back.

Aside from airbags going off, the door panels didn't even budge. I'd say it's a pretty safe car.

Not much gambling involved this trip. Was only up 10 bucks.
