Fun wasn't it? ;) What was surprising to me was that I was sitting still when they went off. I was thinking, great, I was fine before the bags deployed, now I'm gonna die from a fscking safety feature! They were gonna total my car, until I showed the adjuster the window sticker and he did a little research. To my happiness, he found the bluebook on the car was ~$10,000 more than a standard GT, which more than covered the ~$10,000 in damage. How to total a car: Deploy the airbags. You don't need to actually damage anything - the airbags will do it for you! :o PGA -- Paul G.
