What owners wrote

Hello, today I got into an accident. I hydroplaned and went into a guide rail on the interstate going about 50MPH. My friend and I are having major problems with our backs and necks and my airbags didn't deploy. This isn't the first time I've gotten into accident and they didn't deploy. The first time wasn't life threatening but this one was. I don't have any recollection of the accident and I am not able to remember much of yesterday either.
