Subaru conversion anyone? Glad your ok. I hope the insurance company totals it for you. Did any of the air bags deploy? Hard to tell in the pictures.

Glad you're okay, any accident you walk away from is a good one.

Also that car looks totaled.

I think that's going to be a close call Tom. If the air bags would have deployed it would have been done.Nice cut on the hood !
