maybe they can cut the hatch open

 

did the cop give u a ticket for tinted windows ?

 

LOL, when the cop came in the ambulance thinking I was dead and I looked him in the eye and said "Hey there Trooper" he turned white and almost hit the floor then started telling me how lucky I was... I doubt he gave me a ticket.

 

Here's an idea for new personalized license plates- LUKYSOB.

 

You were definitely touched by an Angel on that one Bro... Just imagine if you and t-boned into a tree... you might not be here posting... Thats amazing... Its really awesome that we drive such safe cars... Get better soon!!!

 

That car did what it was supposed to. The front absorbed the shock by crumpling, but the passenger area stayed intact and the air bags protected him from impact. I would be doing this for Scion engineers.

Glad you are OK, I would get another Scion, it saved your ___ ets.

 

welcome to the tC totallers club....







except the one i totalled wasn't mine, it was the dealerships... on the test drive. And yes, i too am thankful we drive safe cars.

 

the dealerships ........ ??? i would've beaten ur a$$ if i were the owner !!

 

Glad you're OK... just makes me actually feel much safer in my tC and happier with my purchase in terms of safety. Though it's unfortunate that that feeling of comfort came at the expense of your body and your tC. Sorry man.

But are you sure that was a dog? And not... an elephant?! That's a hell of a lot of damage.

 

Damn dude! I'm glad to see your okay.

 

Dude, was the accident your fault?

What happened?

 

oh would you now?

Good thing people like you don't own dealerships then.

 

no, some guy didn't see me going straight while he was making left turn. I had the green light and so did he, but i had the right of way. Poor guy could barely speak english, i felt bad for him becuase i could tell he didnt have alot of money (driving an old caravan, and NO it wasn't turboed). No one was hurt.

 

Had the same thing happen to me last year. Walked away from an accident that I shouldn't have walked away from. So, I feel you...

You have to get right back behind the wheel though. My accident started by me getting rearended and the whole car thrown into oncoming traffic (where I then got hit head on). Over a year later and I still flinch when I see someone come up on me in my rearview mirror. It may never go away. But I'm not letting it rob me of the joys of driving. You gotta "get back on that horse" as they say.

By the way, if you have the receipts from your stereo install, work with the insurance company to compensate you for it...

hang in there, bro.

 

The damage wasn't from the dog, it was from the three trees...

 

Yeah, i understand that 110%. My accident happened in january, i purchased the car in april. The first time i drove my new car off the lot i was a nervous wreck. I kept replaying my wreck over and over again in my head. It really freaked me out.

 

Just glad you made it out ok. I was in a pretty bad accident when i had just turned 19. I was broad sided by some jack **** going 60 in a 40, cutting off people going down the road. I turned left out of a gas station, and he accellerated around a Mitsubishi Montero and hit my old car just a few inches away from the drivers side door. I did a 360 onto on coming traffic....it wasnt a pretty site. Ended up going to court and found the other driver guilty, he had to pay up. Took almost a year to get over it, kinda scary. Let us know if we can help in any way.

 

Damn sorry to hear that, good luck!

 

Glad that you are fine...now see if our fellow RSX (or Civic, Mazda3...etc) owners would show us some pics to top the safty of the tC

 

wow, first off thank god you're ok, looks like the tC did it's job commendably.

second, try to get behind the wheel again as soon as possible. was in a bad head-on collision when I was 16, I was doing 35 up a hill and someone coming down came across the double yellow doing 45 and hit me head-on. Put my father in the hospital for 2-3 days, totalled both cars, and I walked away without a scratch (1980 Monte Carlo, no airbags...). Drove again 2 days later, and was a nervous wreck anytime anyone passed by going the opposite direction, but it definitely helps. Nighmares should go away relatively soon, mine lasted a week or two but were manageable.

hope this helps, it sucks but you'll get through it... only lasting effect will be an obsession about wearing seatbelts.
