Air bags deployed

Well i rear ended someone tonight in the vette and it was hard enough to deploy my air bags. Didn't do much damage but scratch up the bumper so that was good! My question is since this is my only car can i cut out the bags so I can still drive the car until i can get it fixed Monday? Will it hurt anything to do this? Also, would anybody have guesstimate on how much it would cost to put the air bags back in? Thanks

Yes you can cut them out to drive the car. My guess would be 2500-3500 for air bag replacement.
