did water shoot up like in the movies?
Wow, that is a strong door.
Yours was the convertible ? Sure looks like a total to me. Damage to both doors, probably the frame rail, unibody and who know what else (you said it hit a hydrant).
As to the other car, also looks totalled. Good luck.
That's not right. The bags should have deployed on that for sure. I wonder what's up with that?Yeah, mine was the Sky. The other car was a GS400 and looked like he'll need at minimum a new front end. The impact didn't make it to the motor and his airbags didn't deploy strangely enough.
Yikes, well I'm pleased to hear that you're healthy and relatively unscathed.
On the fun side of things, you can start to make mental plans for the inevitable replacement vehicle.

So is your GF going to get a MRI or something? I would think the headache could be serious
Looks like frame damage in the doors, gonna get totalled.
Glad you and your girlfriend aren't seriously injured. that soreness is just gonna get worse over the next few days. Make sure your g/f gets checked out for a concussion.
ok now that I got the human part out of the way, let's get the car part in
replacement?!
Check your policy for PIP, also get checked out by a decent chiropractor, not only will you get some good treatment, but you will get rather significantly reimbursed above and beyond. If you know a lawyer that handles this stuff, the sooner you contact the better.
Also important, as sore as you are now, you may notice even worse things going forward. Being thrown violently from side to side is hell on the body, especially when the seats and design of cars offers little protection from extreme movement from the hips on up.
You'll both be more sore tomorrow. After that it should start to get better.
Glad you're both okay!
Fuck dude I'm sorry, we all know you love that car.
his airbags didn't deploy strangely enough.
Unlike crash tests into barriers, real-world crashes typically occur at angles other than directly into the front of the vehicle, and the crash forces usually are not evenly distributed across the front of the vehicle. Consequently, the relative speed between a striking and struck vehicle required to deploy the airbag in a real-world crash can be much higher than an equivalent barrier crash. Because airbag sensors measure deceleration, vehicle speed is not a good indicator of whether an airbag should have deployed.
Four seats, hopefully a V8, not sure if a big coupe or sedan yet. Not another vert this time. I have one or two in mind
