daaamn, as everyone has said good to hear your alright, I would definatly take them for their money, it that had been the other side it could have been fatal, that guy driving the *** van should be long gone, and they should pay for his mistakes.

I hate to point out the obvious but side impact strength is just as important as side airbags. So unless the Sti can hold up better in a hard side impact, the airbags will do little if your seat is half crushed!!!!!! In a lessor side impact, they would certainly help and I would love to have them. But first, I would rather have a MUCH stronger car and good airbags only after that.

Wow!!! Glad to hear ur ok. And that is exactly why i always put my sons car seat in the middle. my girlfriend always complains and tells me to put him on one side but after these pictures it's never gonna happen.
That Van must have been going really fast atleast 40-50 mph
