RIP 2000 Solara SE V6

That looked pretty major, especially with the air bags deployed. I heard those aren't very pleasant. Glad you're okay!

Yeah, the airbag to the chest feels like a very hard punch to the chest.

Ugh, airbags are EVIL! The dust becomes heated due to the firction caused by the rapid inflation of the bag. DUDES, IT BURNS!!!! My lungs felt like they were on fire!!! This was back when I 16 and more healthy. I was able to hike and run 3 miles.

yeah ive got cuts and bruises on my arms from the airbags. The dust also irritated my eyes and throat for a while....though I'd still pick that over a face to the windshield. I was definitely amazed how I was pretty much fine, considering the amount of damage to the car

I'm not parting it out...though Allstate will be!
