safe happens
Yes my Jetta is now toast. It was actually a LOT worse than either of those vidoes.
And the only thing that happened to me was a small bruise on my left pointer finger.
I got a small cut on my knee from my keychain, and a scrape on my left arm which I assume came from the airbag deployment, as they are rather forceful.
My neck hurts a lot, but that is unavoidable in this type of accident.
We both tried to go through the same intersection at the same time. We both thought we had a green light. Nobody got a ticket, as there were no witnesses, although the cops showed up in about 3 seconds, as they were just down the block, and they said they saw 'cars flying everywhere as they pulled up.' Really it was a two car crash, but my car was scattered all over the road. The other car somehow slid between two telephone poles (one steel, one wood) within inches of each, and was stopped by a construction fence.
So my formerly beautiful car is now at the police impound lot. I have no idea what will happen to it, but I'm riding my bike to church today!

Update: I went to the impound lot today to retrive some of my belongings, and the guy said he was 100% positive that is would be written off by insurance as a total loss. So I guess that means I'll prolly be getting some other car... (maybe even a new Jetta? I'm not sure how this works..)
My Jetta is officially dead! The insurance adjuster deemed it a total loss. I do have gap insurance on it, so the only cost to me will be $500 deductible, and an uncanny fear of intersections for the next 7 years!
