Damn man, sorry to hear/see that

The bag probably didn't go off because neither frame rail took a direct impact.

The air bags didnt deploy. I slid on some black ice at about 30mph and ended up in the woods. Whatever tree i hit didnt stop the car, i guess i bounced off of it or something because where the car ended up didnt have a tree in front of it.

The paint on the back bumper is spider webbed and appears to have a little wood in it on the right side which leads me to believe the car spun around atleast halfway and grazed a tree before coming to a stop.

This happened at night and there were no street lights around, so after the first impact i couldnt tell you what happened because everything was pitch black.

and the front of the hood s cracked from impact, looks like soon as i hit the top part just broke off. I had to go back into the street to get it.

Oh and this all started at the top of a hill so i could have picked up some speed once it started sliding.

Sorry to hear that. Could have been worse of course. If it's any consolation it is definitely a buyer's market for performance cars right now. Dust yourself off and get right back in the game. And save some money for a beater.
