Well driving home tonight an old lady in her friend's pickup decided to make a left turn into my car head on  . I'm driving through the intersection, (it's green) and all of a sudden I see headlights in front of me, I'm like "****". My front end is torn up, both airbags deployed, her truck was flipped on its side. We both walked away, all I got was a scratch. She said she never saw me, who knows. I'm unsure if it's totalled or not, I'll find out tomorrow when I call the insurance. Of course I spent about 5 hrs washing and waxing it today  .

Sorry to hear that.
Amazing you're OK. Again, a testament to the passive safety of the Contour.

With my experience: the airbags destroy the dash completely when the passenger one goes off, add that to the sheetmetal damage and it is prolly a gonner....sorry dude...
Just call me Judge.
People suck.
