thas lame!
glad to head both of you survived!!!
i had a good buddy of mine killed by a doped out drug addict when he drove his suburban head on over the top of my buddy's 323GTX at 50+ in a construction zone.
my friend was killed instantly and the DUI driver didn't even receive a scratch.
we later found out the driver has AIDS and is a full blown drug addict and has nothing to live for...so i guess he doesn't care about other's lives as well...bastard!
be glad you both survived...that TSX did its job of saving BOTH your lives...and it can always be replaced...human life CAN NOT!

At the very minimum, get something for damages and guarenteed medical care. Remember, it's most likley just the insurance company that is going to pay for your medical bills and stuff, not the individual. This isn't about trying to get rich on someone else, this is about making sure YOU don't get the shaft.
Imagine later on having another health issue that can be attributed to that accident like some sort of memory loss or kidney rupture or failure.....
Anyway, I'm really glad to hear that you guys made it out of that accident in one piece. I hope things work out ok on this.

Maybe if you werent high you would've seen the eclipse coming.
alright sorry, I just had to.
Glad to hear you and your friend are all right. The TSX did a great job protecting you two, especially your friend since the impact was all on his side.

You are lucky to be alive. Preserve your rights--like the previous poster said--you do not know at this point about long term effects. Good luck to you--and hold out for a totalled car..........

that sucks dude! I'm sorry to hear that! What a beautiful car... *(tear)... stupid jerk. They better total your car cause it will never be the same if the try to fix it. It won't shut with that thud you get from Japanese Cars. It will sound like an American Car. And it will have allignment problems and paint issues, and lots of other problems as it gets older.
