Making me cry... (56K Beware)
This is what happened last weekend. I just got my windows tinted (5% - looks awesome) and was going to wash my car when a lady, going the opposite direction, failed to see me and turned left. I ended up t-boning her. She got the ticket and her insurance is now paying for it. The parts should be in this upcoming week. Luckily they already have parts produced. I might end up using the insurance money for the hood and simply getting a CF hood. We will see. I'll post pics once it is fixed. That way you can see the awesome tinting job as well. If you want a funny side note, the passenger side fender is pushed back too far to open the passenger door. Because of this, my gilfriend has to climb over from the driver's side. She doesn't mind too much though, because it is a tC that she is climbing over. Now if it was a Honda it would be a different story...

[quote="emoinwinter"]Luckily the airbag didn't discharge. [quote]
Why didn't the airbag deploy? How fast were you going at impact? I'd be more concerned that the airbag didnt' deploy then if it did.
I wrecked my sisters older Mitsu Galant into the back of a Prelude, and the bumper of the Galant slid under the bumper of the Prelude, so the airbag did not discharge caus the sensor is in the bumper. I was probably going 35, and it crunched the hood into the dash and my mom's head cracked the windshield (passenger not wearing belt).

Also, one more thing for you to ponder about. The car that I owned before the tC was a 1999 Mustang GT. While you were ____ing your pants breaking under 16 seconds I was running well into the low 13s. F--- off...
