No reason for them to deploy in that crash. Had you hit the RV square-on, they would have deployed but you hit only a small corner, airbags would have done nothing but cost a whole lot of money, and irritate the **** out of you and your girlfriend's eyes, noses, and throats.

Glad to hear no ones hurt........but that's what happens when you're either not paying attention to the road, or you're following too close.......or both.

damn it, i hate when people drive like ******** and not pay attention to the trafic infront of them. it causes good people and nice cars like u to swerve from hitting a moron and damging your car

some dude in a damn like 1992 honda civic wasn't paying attention to the light ahead of me today i thought he was going to run the yellow and all of a sudden he jamed the brakes and i had to swerve to the right and almost wiped out a pole. i think i was like 2 feet from it.

good to see everyone is ok.

well personaly if it was me i would have rather hit the rv because it gives more than the tree. tho more damage over all between the two vehicles was more if you hit the tree would have been a dead stop

Hey look on the bright side ...
It appears as if the fold back feature on your side mirror worked!

Glad you're a-okay.

some shops go extremely far before totaling........ when my ex wrecked our cobalt when she OUI'd, she destroyed the entire fornt supension, three rims and tires, the EVAP canister, and the rear 1/4.... total damage and labor came out to 13,300......... why they didn't total it was beyond me considering the cars NADA value is only 14,300

there are a lot of insurance companies that go off of KBB and or depending on year they get the invoice of a new one. I get lots of calls from insurance companies asking what the value of a vehicle is.



Over all Im glad eveyone was ok and the balt is back on the road soon. Go over it with an extra large magnifying glass.
