Hit a 100lb dog doing 60
 
No pics yet, but maybe by the end of this week. It was dark and didn't even see the fucker until he was an inch in front of my bumper. I feel horrible about hitting someone's dog, but he effed up my car pretty good. Actually my airbags did more damage than the dog. The dog fucked the front bumper, my cca intercooler, and cracked the mounts for my driver side headlight and corner light. The passenger side airbag ripped up half my dash, smashed my front windshield, and the pressure of the expansion of the two airbags blew my rear hatch window right off :S.

What do you guys think-- its a 95 civic cx hatchback. Will the insurance company total it? If it counts for anything it has a lot of aftermarket addtions-- would they bring up the blue book value at all, like the b18b turbo engine, upgraded sound system, tinted windows, 2yr old paint job, aftermarket headlights, etc?

Anyway, the airbags are ------- ridiculous. It sounded like someone fired a gun off next to my ear, it was ringing for 5 minutes afterward, and they blew out my rear hatch. WTF? My mom used to work for Calspan where they tested cars for impact safety n shite, and she said that she's seen videos of airbags hitting people and making their eyes pop out or shattering their faces to the point that they need multiple reconstructive surgeries or even killing them by breaking their necks. Thats feckin crazy. If my car doesn't get totaled, I'm not replacing my airbags. Newer airbags are supposed to be safer and more gentle though ::) Who knows, but mine just fucked my car pretty good.

Sure will. They will total in the cost of the airbags and those alone are worth more than your car. Hurry up and swap in a pos D15B7 and rip everything out before the adjuster gets there.
