wow! is that a Mazda 3 hatchback?

My wife has that exact car. A little over a month ago, 3 days before our wedding, she was driving through a green light and a guy turned left into her. Hit her driver side front fender and bounced her into the light pole. The whole front end was crushed right up to the firewall, but she walked away with just a few bruises from the seatbelt and a small burn on her wrist/arm from the airbag. She figures she was doing about 65-70 km/hr when it happened. I was very impressed with that car because the windshield didn't even crack. Everthing from firewall back was pristine. The doors were a little harder to open but that was about it. But most importantly she was completely fine. We went straight out and bought another one with the insurance money.

Then when I went to the salvage yard to clean out the old car and get all her stuff out of it, I saw a burned out Volvo station wagon that had a car seat in the back and all the seatbelts were cut... That made me shiver
