It turns out he doesn't have a broken rib or anything. He did some really light working out and he didn't take his pain killers. So he was in pain. His right side is still all bruised up. Here's some more pics...

We all find this awesome. This pic s looking into his trunk. He had strut bars all around. We think this one actually saved his life bc his gas tank is right there. We think the think would've exploded if there was no strut bar.

And this is his steering wheel.

And just another pic showing the closeup.

But there are ones in the back incase of a rearender right? Look at the drivers side 1/4 panel. That definately should have set off the airbags.

I don't believe they have rear airbag sensors, they don't really surve a purpose of you get rear-ended because you don't fly forward in a split second. Maybe it's different, but our cars only have them in the front fenders.

Is that the sensors in the inner fender wells on each side?... Because if so then mine should have deployed when I nailed that deer and is spun around and nailed my fender and destroyed it... I did some routing if the wires and its something connected to the ABS, but I'm not sure why it would be.

The sensor with the red connector is the ABS sensor I believe. I haven't looked in awhile, but the sensors are somewhere up inside the very front of the fender wells, IIRC.

most airbags that are front only tend to have a front sensor only. I agree with gthompson the front isn't damanged enough to have set off the airbag.

Look at the website thats out there to slander mistsubishi cars and look at eclipse complaints (i know he didn't have an eclipse...) but it's an examplt... Hundreds of complaints filed about airbags not deploying. When you read how they were hit it's obvious why... the sensors weren't effected (or affected?) at all.. So I'm going to say thats what happened to him..

He is so lucky.
Sucks for the car
Cars are replaceable..
People not so much.

Dear god thats amazing he is still alive.

hey david, what is that wrapped around his rim in like the 3rd or fourth pic? It looks like pieces of a hubcap....

eclipsed at 3am · #27 09-18-2006, 06:01 PM

looks like the hubcap from another car maybe.

Thor06 · #28 09-18-2006, 07:36 PM

Wow is there an echo in here?

Yes its pieces from a hub cap.

Blackcrow64 · #29 09-18-2006, 07:59 PM

Wow is that part of the other cars hubcap?

david-b · #30 09-18-2006, 09:37 PM

Yeah, thats the other guys hubcap. It's still on the car right now too. It looks weird as hell when you see it in person bc it looks like its not even broken from an angle. Looks like 2 rings put together... magically. haha. Adam says thanks for all the words. He didn't think I would show the pics to anyone online. He's actually doing a lot better. Bruises are going away more and more. He's going back to the hospitol this week to get his jaw checked out and get whatever metal he has in it out from the surjury.

He's no longer going to buy any fast cars. I mean this is his 2nd MX6 he trashed. This was the first one:

He's either going to buy a 4 door sedan (no EVO, I tried already), or a SUV. He wants to put 20s on the next car. haha.
