To start this thread with the important things, they both walked away and wife is the only one with any physical medical complaints so far.
Last Friday I was on a job interview with and RVP (went well apparently) and wife and son left for a drive to give me some peace and quiet. They came back about 40 minutes later and i was still on the call, I heard this and just went upstairs as it was not going to be much longer. She left to go fill up and about .5 miles away from the house, she was going north on Waggoner Road and a F150 blew the red light completely travelling east on Havens Corners. No skidmarks, no braking just hit the rear driver side door at 45-50 mph. This is where my son was sitting, right behind my wife. The car was sent into the traffic light pole on the passenger side and a further 40 ft where it came to a rest.
A very fast response (after a call from the driver of the F150) by Jefferson Township FD and the Franklin County Sheriff Dept had them both checked out before I was able to respond to the 10+ calls i had on my phone.
Thanks to the great engineering of both Hyundai and our Chicco Nextfit car seat (which absorbed the 8-10 inches of intrusion on my sons door) they were both able to go home with me.
Questions if anyone has them I will answer.
Now the fun part is replacing the car. Unfortunately it was paid off and we planned on keeping it for another year or two until i get settled in to a now job. The plan was a 3 row SUV (New CX-9 tickles my fancy and the Tahoe or Suburban would be great) but who knows what in the world we can get now.
Not sure what the Hyundai is worth (not going to write out what I think in case the insurance company somehow sees this) but I may be selling my 1999 Wrangler as well.
All that being said, who has suggestions, advice, etc relating to cars, buying, places to go, dealing with the insurance company (theirs has been great and mine, ironically, is treating me like crap so far).
