Parking lights also disabled!
(iPhone camera)
The sad thing is...
I was about to make a left turn and creeped forward and when I noticed a blue WRX gunning it opposite direction of me, I have no idea why I did not notice it going THAT fast so I immediately stopped making the left, I was going to try to react by pulling my front end back to the right side so I won't be in his way but it was too late. The speed he was going at caused him to slide when he tried to dodge me and he ran right into my front driver side. I'm guessing because of the speed he was going and he hit my car right where the sensor was, it caused the airbag to deploy. Which in return hit me right in the face and I was kind of shocked that the airbag popped, I thought the damage on my car was worse than it is before I got off to see it.
I'm ok though. I would be less hurt if the airbag didn't pop into my face actually.

Lol it's ok StevenBell. Thanks tho, I guess shit happens but didn't expect it to happen so soon to this brand new car.
And LOL i understand that you guys might think 8000k is rice. But it's Philips and it's not as blue as it seems in the pictures. It's actually just white in person, and alot clearer than the stock bulbs. I readjusted it so that it aims just right so it shouldn't blind anyone. People suggested HID fogs but that's just stupid and blinding to people since i had that on my 3G, also the same reason why I took out the HID and switched to yellow halogen on my 3G.

air bags popped.. not a good sign when it comes to selling the car..
your car is ruined.. forever in record on carfax.
unless hes doing it under the table then no one will know.
isnt there a standard as to if a airbag pop's in anyway its considered a salvaged car?

Yeah I actually wish he totalled it so I can just fuck it and get a Subie. LOL
and no I'm at fault 100% since I was making a Left turn unless I find a witness to prove that he was speeding. But where am I suppose to find someone that drove by when it happened at freakin 4am. LOL

Glad to hear that you're ok, minus the bruised face.
As for totaling a car, you probably need to wrap the car around a lamp post a couple times in order to completely write off a brand new $50K Cdn car.
