Totaled my R56s

Yep, I was driving on my way to work and got smashed between a Chevy Traverse and a Hummer H2. My wife and I got out in good enough shape but sadly cannot say the same thing for my Pepper White baby. Totaled it. Man, I loved that car. Loved it so much I found another 2013 R56S! Here is my new one.

What was the extent of your injuries?
I'm curious to see how well the Mini protected you.

H_C, we both had minor neck injuries, the impact was just under the amount needed to deploy the airbags. I think that we would have had greater injuries if they went off. Still it was totalled due to being hit in the rear toward the passenger side and being pushed into the hummer in front of us also on the right side.
