You'll get top notch treatment from Woodhouse. 
Enjoy your new ride. You'll have 10+ hrs to get to know it.

Adam at Woodhouse has been awesome to work with. Can't wait to drive it home.
Booked several business meetings along the way so company paid for flight up, hotel in KC and meals. I just have to pay gas.

Glad the car did its job at that point and kept the two of you in one piece, though it's still sad to see it totaled like that.
Enjoy the new vehicle, sounds like one hell of an upgrade.

One idiot takes out two Boxes? Prolly texting like that TV commercial.
I join those who noted that at least you and your son were okay. Good luck with everything.

That really sucks. I am glad you and your son are ok. I worry about getting rear ended since my car can stop a lot faster than the average vehicle. Sorry to be morbid and/or prying but I am curious about what your heads hit to give the concussions. Back of the seats? It doesn't look like the air bags deployed so maybe you hit dash / steering wheel? Why didn't they deploy? It looks like you hit the car in front of you quite hard.

We hit the back of the seat twice.
Not sure why the airbags did not deploy. If you look at the impact area, it is at the top of the bumper, into the front trunk. I wonder if not enough of the sensors went off to trigger the airbags. But I do not know...we wondered the same thing.
