Thanks for the concern, guys. The VDC was, in fact, on. I can confirm that the airbag was very effective and you guys should feel very safe and protected in your Zs. I walked away with only slight soreness in my face from the airbag. I'm fixing to call Geico now.

glad you are okay.


airbags being deployed = $$$$$$ so i'm sure it's totalled. Just hope it is anyways.

Airbag deployment alone is a few thousand, and that looks pretty deep into the engine bay. Like everybody else has said...totaled. Sorry! Hope you can replace it soon.

Very happy to hear you're okay though.

One of my friends crashed an 07 G into a gaurd rail and the rad was touching the engine but airbags did not deploy... insurance did not total the car

Looks worse than $9,000. Is this where gap insurance comes in handy? I do not have it myself.

GAP insurance saved my *** when an uninsured redlight runner totaled my car. Would never go without it again. Although, it's cheaper to buy it through your own insurance company, or aftermarket than the **** the stealership offers you.

Ouch!!! That sucks. Sorry to hear about it.

The car may be scrap, but hey, you could get some coin for those wheels!!! I'm sure someone would love to have an extra set for winter tires.
