No problem dude. I am glad you are ok, that's the most important thing.

Saturns must be some awesome cars to go through what you described and still keep the passengers safe. The worst wreck I was in was when a 15 yr old unlicensed girl was given a driving lesson by her boyfriend at about 11pm on night. She ran a redlight. We both were driving Jeep Cherokees, which I found out has foam inside the front bumpers. When everything came to a stop, the street looked like it has snow on it with all the stryofoam.

I

crumple zones and airbags, they saved my life.

I remember those commercials! When i bought the car used, the salesman actually kicked in the door panel and it just bounced right back. I love plastic cars

So the car is definitely totaled, I'll see if I can get some pictures of it. As for the accident itself, I remember seeing the guy flying up the on ramp. I moved over to the left lane to give him room. Then I remember him still coming over right into me. I remember the impact and the airbag, but not much else until after we were stopped. Apparently the guy is 22, just got back to campus, and blew a 0.13. He said that he thought he was going the other way on Hwy 6 and that he never saw me. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt and ended up in worse shape than me, though his truck looks better than my car does.

Total damage to me is 4 bruised ribs on my left where the concrete divider came through the door, a variety of cuts, scratches and bruises, and a broken right thumb (makes it hard to type). I have 2 black eyes from the airbag and a gnarly looking bruise across my chest from the seatbelt.

My insurance agent got me a rental car yesterday. I'm probably just going to get a cheap replacement or a short term lease since I'll only need it for a few more months.
