It was almost a blessing as I wanted to order another before they stopped making them and the insurance gave me only $3K less than what I'd paid for it 4 years before. The other thing is it gives me a lot of confidence in the design of the Camaro in regard to safety. The other thing is I had a dash cam so there was no question as far as who was at fault. The guy told the cops that his light was green. The car stopped at the red light stayed as a witness and the cops ticketed him, but had that not happened it would have been my word against his without a dash cam. The new one will have a dash cam installed first thing. I already have the radar detector/dash cam wiring harness ordered.

Dear god! That’s awful! Glad ur ok and it gives me confidence that the car can handle an impact that well. I see red light runners ALL the time, esp in Austin. I have made a habit of waiting for a sec at a green light to make sure all the runners are done going thru the red light. Husband is getting me a dash cam for my bday this month. That evidence is invaluable.
