camaro VS altima (breaking)
So looks like the camaro does a much better job stopping for emergency vehicles than the Nissan Altima.

no one was hurt thankfully. All of the pain is really with the insurance company at this time.
*protip* always have good insurance you never know when the other guy doesn't have any. |

Ouch that's aggravating. Especially when people don't have insurance. At least no one is hurt.

traffic was moving around 30-35 before the police officer switched on his lights siren and horn to get through a red light.
She locked it up for a bit before she hit me. It felt like she went under more than a direct hit. onstar didn't check on me nor did the airbags go off. |

Just to clarify that front air bags typically do NOT deploy for rear end collisions. Have no idea what triggers Onstar. "In low-speed front-end collisions, your seatbelt is usually enough to provide protection for your head and chest. However, in higher speed front-end crashes, front airbags deploy to protect your head and chest as they move forward. Front airbags usually don’t deploy in rear-end collisions, side impacts or rollovers. Side airbags deploy during side impacts and rollovers, and provide buffers between the occupants and the doors." http://www.icbc.com/about-icbc/newsr...ts/airbags.pdf |

that's good info to know. So far I have never ran into anyone in a car with airbags.
Unrelated but a 4cyl jeep rental has no get up and go. |

It took out the grill totally. I think the radiator was dented but it was not leaking. no major panels were affected.
I didn't take any pics of hers because she was bawling most of the time. It could have been driven but without insurance it was towed away as far as I know. They sent me on my way. I did have something rubbing on the rear passenger tire at times on the way home. not sure what that ends up being yet. Body shop is pretty behind so I don't think they have actually done much other than order some parts and get the first appraisal |

Glad you are okay...though I did get a chuckle when I saw your "prize" for winning this braking competition.
