really sucks especially considering it seems like such a fluke accident. 55 mph and start hydroplaning sucks bad

That depends on many variables that don't always depend on speed. Great to see you are ok, it is never fun to go through this.

It doesn't look like the damage was severe enough to trigger the airbags. It's probably a good thing too. Having it deployed isn't exactly like resting your head on a pillow. I've seen people walk away with their face bruised up after it's deployed. It's meant to save your life, not prevent injury. It also looks like you skimmed of the barrier... in which case, the impact would have been a lot less (maybe equivalent to a 5-10mph impact)than a head on 55mph impact. If it were a 55mph impact, the driver seat and passanger seat would be occupying the same space. You don't know how lucky you are. Best of luck in getting her fixed.

UPDATE:

As expected, my insurance will not cover the aftermarket bumper but everything else is which is good. Total damages were estimated at $9400.
I'll keep this thread updated til' she's back to driveable condition.

Wow that sucks man. If it gets in the shop now, I don't see any reason that the car can't be ready for Z Dayz.
