Wow, glad to hear your safe and sound. What are your plans for replacing the Focus?

Well its a little bit of everything.
Ranger FX4
Ford Escape
Ford Tauras
My wife said a used G35 coupe...she is probably just toying with me though.
I want the Ranger FX4 the most, I might look at one Friday or Saturday.

If you get a Ranger which I regret trading in for my Focus, I have a set of rims off my old one that I'd be willing to let go for cheap. 20" chrome five spoke wheels, really set the Ranger off.

That sucks...
You probably were going to slow or hit the median in a way where the sensors weren't touched.
I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.

Yikes...
I've seen a few wrecks posted here and Fj and they always seem to walk out fine. We can def say the focus is a safe car.

Hrm, that might explain why the bags didn't go off. AFAIK the entire bumper isn't rigged with sensors, but there are several spaced along the inside of it. Hit between them and the bags will stay put.
Yipes :ph34r: That must have been like a bad amusement park ride, judging by what the car looks like (Couldn't even save the air filter either, NVM the entire SRI eh?)

I hit the median head on at at least 45kph, the air bags should have gone off.

Well at least you didn't get the two black eyes and burnt hair like my aunt did from her airbags when she got sandwiched on the qew.
Do ya have any pics of the whole front end?

The main thing is that you are going to be okay. Personally, I'd go look for another ST, or an SVT. Sorry, unless I win a million or two, it's gonna be a Focus from here on in. ( no 2008 though )

did you spin before you hit the barrier? That could be why the bags didn't fire.
all conjecture aside.. glad you're ok... hope you enjoy whatever new car you get!

Nathan, you walked away. That's the best kind of accident there is. On a completely shallow note - that poor MBRP system! You hardly got to enjoy it! :(
I'm intrigued as to why the airbags didn't go off, too. That's odd.
+3 or whatever for the G35. Mo, you and I need to have a chat over MSN sometime when you have time ;)
