WOW, that's a bigger response than I thought I would get.

Thanks for all the nice words.

I really just want my car back so I think I'll get the same thing.

I already went to the recking yard to pull out my system. My insurance company will be taking it now to check it out. Doesn't look like anything happened to the amps or even the Head Unit.

Now that is has been a few days I'm starting to feel really sore, kinda sucks.

Again thanks for all the kind words.

Phew, got a little emotional reading that.

I'm really glad you're ok, my friend died in a car accident a few months ago and that's just...not cool.

Sorry to hear about your car, although it's promising to know that our cars hold up so well in accidents.

Did I mention I'm glad you're ok?

I've been thinking about what I want to get next.

I really loved my TC and want to get the same car I had.

BUT, I bought my TC before I knew about the new addition to my family, my daughter.
Now that I have two of my own kids as well as two step kids, I don't think I can justify buying another two door TC. My wife said I can buy what I want, but it just isn't practical.

I was thinking about the XB series 3.0, but I don't know. It has a really small engine.

Any suggestions for under $20,000?

Maybe you could get a Matrix? Those are $16000, but I'm not quite sure of the specs.

I'm not a Toyota expert, even though I am looking all the Toyotas and Scions in the showroom right now as I type, but I think the Matrix would be a nice choice or even a very base Camry. I would even recommend a Corolla. The xB does have a decent amount of room for you and your family, but I think the coupe wouldn't be practical for right now.

Besides, you'll always have a chance to get your family ride and then YOUR ride.

Well, the can POSSIBLY get an 01 IS300 for under $20K but that would be real lucky and it'll have ALOT of miles. I don't think he would want that.

Remember the days when the IS was supposed to be the car for us? lol Boy, were they off by about $15K...

Ouch dude, that sucks. A LOT.

At least your alive and all your parts still move though. It could have been so much worse.

Most families do really love the xb because it's usable for families with little kids but it's not a *shudder* minivan.

As to power, you can just get the Blitz supercharger and put it on.

Welp, I just got my New 2007 TC. Same color and options as my previous one. In the end it will cost me about $1000. I got more than it was worth from the insurance company.

Soon I'll reinstall my sound system into the new car. It's kinda nice to have a new car to work on since I made a few mistakes on the last one.

Thanks for all the support through my ordeal.
