Default tC Roll Over Accident

This was just posted at Scionworld... Very glad she ended up without a stratch!!

I received a call yesterday (8 Nov. 04)from a customers mother.
She was so happy that her 19 yr old daughter survived that accident.
She continued on, there was a pickup truck that cut her daughter off
on the highway (65-70mph)Emily swerved out of the way and hit the
brakes. The truck continued into her lane and forced her off the
road into the center median ditch. The car slid sideways in the
grass and began to roll over and over (4 times) the glass shattered
but didn't dislodge from the framing. the airbags deployed and
cushioned any blows. The frame its-self didn't bend, buckle or
break. Emily's mom was so glad I sold them that TC !! Emily and her
friend walked away from that accident without a scratch on them.
The TC is totaled and they will be in next week to buy a new one.
THESE ARE VERY SAFE CARS - JUST INCASE THERE ARE ANY DOUBTS.

Sucks that that happened, but good to know that it's a sturdy car.

Why do you people have to attack Cyber everytime she says ANYTHING?
And the funny thing is, you think SHE is the annoying one.

Brian said he'll post the pics when he receives them.

Don't know about you, but I'm kinda looking forward to them.

I'm glad to know the moonroof didn't come crashing down. I had to admit I was a little paranoid about that.

Glass tables scare the ____ out of me. I always get visions of tripping on something and going crashing through the table. So the all glass roof was freaking me out just a little.

I bet big glass trucks make you un easy, I hate those trucks when they are loaded with sheets of glass

I am interested in buying a tC and this right here has helped when it comes to wondering how safe it is.
