On Thursday, July 19th our Acura MDX met its end. I came through unscathed as the passenger compartment was intact and the drivers side almost untouched.

Moving around toward the rear of the car things don't look so good.
|
The impact was on the rear, offset to the right side. The air bags deployed all the way down the side of the vehicle. I think the other driver was swerving at the last moment to try to miss me.

The left wheel. This is how it is supposed to look.
|
There has been a little redecorating on the right.
|
|
The drivers seat collapsed backward. I'm guessing this was lucky as the collapsing seat absorbed some of the impact energy rather than transferring it to me.
|
It is a good thing there wasn't anybody in the back seat. No leg room left here!
|
Rather than straight backward, the seat collapsed at an angle.
|
|
The car that hit me was a 2006 Ford F-150 pickup. Despite the damage to both of our vehicles, both of us walked away. He had a dog in with him, and it also was uninjured. I guess all the safety stuff worked. |

Final score:
Acura MDX: 0
Ford F-150: 0
