Were you hurt? You should definitely get some x-rays done because stuff can
show up a month or two later that can cause some serious problems.

Boy, can I sympathize with you. I'm still mourning my '95. It takes time,
but it does get easier. I can't believe that I got so attached to mine.
Most people here thought I was weird and kept telling me to "Get over it,
it's just a truck". But of course only Dak owners would know that it most
definitely isn't "just a truck".

When I got hit, Jason had to hold me back from wanting to run over there and
rip his face off.

How were you hit? When I was pushed into the lamp pole, my airbag didn't
deploy. But it was hit on the passenger headlight area. Were you hit head
on center or on the driver's side head on?

Out of curiosity, does anyone know where the airbag sensor(s) are located on
the '95? How about the '98?

Was it written off? Are you getting another Dak? The thought of the new
Dak really helped me get over it.

I know, I know.... a thousand questions from Norah again. ;)

Thanks
Norah
