I know these come up a lot, but I gotta ask anyway.
I was in a collision a few hours ago coming home from work. I was driving on the freeway, but preparing to exit and since it's rush hour, I was slowing down. Well, the guy behind me obviously didn't get the memo and rear-ended me. I was going maybe 10mph and he was going 30-40 when he hit me. He didn't even attempt to stop or swerve. My airbags did not deploy, but I hear that's fairly common when rear-ended. His car's airbags didn't deploy, I don't think, but then again his car may not have even had airbags. It was hard to tell the model year. . but it was a Mitsubishi Galant from the 90s. The guy was wholly uncooperative and didn't give me any info.
Kids were not with me, so the carseats were unoccupied. My car doesn't have a whole lot of visible damage, but the frame is definitely bent. My lovely CR-V is a good 4-5 inches shorter than it used to me. His car's front-end was completely smashed up and had to be towed away.
I have a Madison Regent and a Decathlon (RFing). The Regent is only 1.5 years old but the DC is 4 yrs old. I don't care for the DC, so I'd be perfectly happy replacing it. But the Regent, well those aren't so easy to come by anymore. And DD loves her Regent and isn't so fond of the GN that my parents have for her.
So am I right in thinking the seats need to be replaced? And if so, please give me suggestions. Since insurance will be paying, I have no need to stick with something inexpensive.
