R.I.P. '08 Hypnotic Teal (NO 56K)**UPDATE**THE REPLACEMENT

My wife was in an accident today. She is okay. I can't say the same for the box.

Many thanks to Scion for building such a safe car. You can see in the pix how well my wife was protected. Thank you Scion

I'm glad she's ok. Looks like the xB handled it like a champ and kept her safe. How did the accident happen?

Glad your wife was alright... now she can get a Stingray Metallic replacement. Try to get the Premium Audio & Alloy Wheels back before the insurance company takes possession.

i want to buy your windshield!!! lol

Glad your wife is ok, hope everything goes good with the insurance, i had to go through all of that last October. Everything usually ends up fine in the long run. i actually ended up making money (kind of) when everything was said and done.

im glad your wife is alright. i do admit that i feel much more secure knowing my significant other drives a toyota. its great to see how well intact the vehicle is in. looks as if the crash ended up at the a pillar and winsheild. its good to believe that the rating is to par with real life. sad you lost the hypnotiq teal as well.

Wow! That looks like a hard hit, glad the wife is alright. Looking at that pic makes me feel safer knowing I drive an xb2.

Any plans for another one or moving on to something different?

The airbag and seat belt did a number on her, but that's to be expected. What I am thankful for is those incredible crumple zones in the front.

The adjuster will be looking at the car today. If he confirms that it is totaled we would most likely look at getting another xB.

Longboardluv....that's the remote bass adjustment **** for the subwoofer
