thanks everyone for the concerns + sympathy....but seriously....think hard about wearing seat belts...its such a small price to pay for the benefits of it.

kill it with BOOMSTICK!
Dude, glad you got out of it alright, and I think that the forgetting before the impact may have somthing to do with the concussion or you just didn't see the corner and blacked out when you realized it was there.
And I definatley agree with seatbelts, not only do they hold you in place when cornering hard, they DO save lives, I have seen it more then once. I am sure that some of the accident's that I have seen would have ended much more seriously, especially the 40 mph head on that happened right in front of me. Everyone was wearing seatbelts and had air bags, and they definatley did the job like they should.
In other news, the dealership I am dealing with locally is denying the S5 had a seatbelt recall, even with the copy of it in hand, and refuse to do ANY work until they are contacted by Mazda USA's warranty office and it is confirmed. According to their computers, they were maintinenced once before I had the car in '99 and they say that is all I get, just 1 time. I called Mazda USA and they say it is a legit order, but try getting the left hand to know what the right is doing, ya know? Well, sorry to jack your thread, just wanted to get it off my chest, being that it has been a long day without my Rex, and a day of high phone bills at the least. Again, listen to Zero, WEAR YOU BELTS!

damn... insurance loves to total these cars from my experience (a guy ran a red light and T-boned me and fucked my door all up - that was the ONLY damage and I ended up with a salvage title)
But hey, you're alright aren't you? thats what really matters...

Thank God you didn't die........I would've missed all those witty pictures you post.......
Keep on the adjuster, he'll **** you over if given half the chance. My friend put a new engine in his caddy, and they only gave him 300 for the car. He paid 2k for the engine + install. He got ***-raped........Poor guy
