Last night I was driving in a construction zone, the road was a mess and I hit a center divider going around 45. The airbags deployed and it felt like I was riding on a wooden roller coaster. I lost my oil, and it looked like the underside got torn up. The adjuster is going to look at it tomorrow, I think they will probably total it. The car didn't get any body damage, even the front bumper is intact. all the doors open and close, the hood popped up but could not get the latch to open.

Re: I wrecked my Civic
Sorry to hear. Sounds like you're in the market for a new '09. Maybe you can pick one up for under MSRP now that the demand has fallen off.
Best of luck getting the adjuster to recognize the added value of the CNG system.

Re: I wrecked my Civic
I've got a rental the insurance company is paying for now, well 20 of 24.95. I may buy a new GX, I am going to look at 2006+ used models, see what I find. I think for now I will get my van back on the road (It's non-op not insured now) It needs a smog check too.BLUE 09 GX

Re: I wrecked my Civic
I did not smell any gas, but the smell and smoke from the airbags was overwhelming. I have no clue about the solenoid on the tank. How close are the fuel lines to the bottom of the car? Any thoughts if it is fixible? A friend said it is 3k just to replace the 2 airbags. It has 124k on it, any clue to retail value?BLUE 09 GX

Re: I wrecked my Civic
Sorry to hear about that. You say you lost your oil: it is possible you have severe enginge damage as well. It is possible the crank may have hit somethiing solid if your pan was smashed upward. Maybe not, just something to check.
My son was in a pretty bad wreck in mine about 3 years ago and they fixed it. It was about $8,000 damage at the time. He pulled in front of a full size truck that caught the right front bumber and spun him around. Ripped the rear axel out of the truck. My air bags did not deploy, even though one activation module was smashed...
No issue with the CNG, but I did insist they do a full fuel system inspection. So they towed it to an authorized CNG Honda Dealer to do that.

Re: I wrecked my Civic
They totaled my car as I expected. They are offering me $5,718 plust tax, minus 500 deductable., which comes to $5,661. I still have to talk to a negotiater, I am going to try to get more. The last 2 Civics I saw recently for sale were a 98 for $7,000 and a 99 for $7,500 and both had around 70k miles. Mine had about 120k.BLUE 09 GX
