wife totaled the car

make a long story short,during the last snow storm,my wife totaled our family car 07 impala.
at 40mph this car bounced off of two guardrails and unbelieabley was safe.this car is a 5 star rated in crash test and up until now i didnt pay attention to safety.i am so impressed on how the car took it.just means that the new camaro will be coming sooner than later

I am totaly impreesed on how little visual damage there was at a 40mph crash. noone was hurt thank god.

Yes, thank God she is ok. You can always get another auto and a CAMARO would be a good choice!

Camaro sales +1. I'm sure she's a good driver, and with this weather this year, it's why there called accidents. Glad she is ok.

Glad she is ok but isn't 40mph a bit fast for driving in a snowstorm? Agree with others, get her an AWD Equinox.
