Default On my way home from the airport. Ouch!

Here's what happened a couple of weeks ago when someone turned right in front of me.
It is totaled, passenger airbag went off.
This was my faithful everyday driver for 7 1/2 years.

But, I was able to find this beauty with 11k miles on it, 3 1/2 hours away in Maine.
Love these cars.

Awwww dang, I feel your pain. I'm glad you didn't get hurt; or did you get a knot? Was the drivers side, a recall bag? Your probably right,about loss. Let's us all know how it goes ,so we know what to expect. My condolences!

The driver's side airbag did not go off which I thought was very strange, considering the brunt of the hit was on the driver's side. There was nobody in the passenger seat. That airbag broke the windshield because it came out with such force.
I did have my seat belt on which kept me from hitting anything. The next day my back had pain, but I was very happy with how the car reacted. Both doors opened and closed fine, so the cabin was not affected.

Sorry about the red car and congrats on the new one.

I love the red crossfires, wish the srt came in red. A member has a red crossfire with a srt from bumper and lowered. It looks amazing!!

At least you have a low mileage crossfire to drive around for the next 7 1/2 years, or until someone turns in front you again.

Most importantly, glad you were alright.
