Icrumple 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.
