I did, but that light turned green when I was about 50 feet out, so I gunned it. Nobody was in front of me untill that jerk decided he could beat the minivan in the other lane. bad juu-juu

The frame was tweeked, but straightened. is there some way to have them ensure the air bag is ok. I hit this guy at thirty or so, and no deployment. This is being covered under insurance so I'm need to be as **** retentive as possible.

Default No deployment @ 30 mph? That doesn't sound right. Although...

I suppose if you were doing 30 &amp; he was doing 15 or so, the impact wouldn't have been too bad. I still would expect deployment with that kind of damage.


As for what to look for, be sure to pick it up on a sunny day &amp; inspect it carefully in full sun for panel alignment &amp; paint match.
