I had no choice but to jump into her lane in an emergency dive bomb to avoid the head on... The road is narrow so SPLAT into the steel railing... I got knocked out for about 5 seconds from hitting my head on the pillar between the doors (no idea why the side airbags didn't go off, it was a hard *** hit).

My wife was fine and ran out of the car instantly (she didn't notice I was unconcious) and went to confront the driver, which was a woman, the truck then just peeled out and was gone... I would have went after her if I wasn't so dizzy.

I don't know exactly what kind of truck it was, but I remember seeing the HUGE dodge grill, so going head on with that would SUCK. She wasn't going slow either... My wife and I were going like 10mph over since no one was on the road, and 35mph sucks,.
Holy crap, that's terrible. My sincere condolences... I know you've been crazy about the car since you got it. Thank god for your quick reactions though, it could have been a lot worse.

I know it's a moot question at this point, but wouldn't it be possible that she could be held responsible since it was her driving that caused it?

I dont know about future plans... I just want it fixed, I love that car, thank god nothing important was ruined.

You think I should take the access port off before going to a body shop?

Also, can you guy recommend a good body shop? In the fremont area?
I'm so glad I'm moving out of the area I live in right now. I see SUV's cutting corners 100% into oncoming lanes all the time, luckily I'm usually behind them. Even worse is that they do it in daylight, so you can't even see of cars are around the bend.

I hope that lady rots in hell.

If you have a 360 get Forza 2, it's got the STI in it.
