Well guys I don't post to often but I just was in an accident that left my beloved box on it's roof. All because of a blind coner after a hill. Well The roof is pretty dented in, A pillar is dented, rear driver door messed up and front and back drivers quarter panel messed up. But on the good side of things me and all of my buddies were wearing our safty belts and there were no injuries. I'll try to get some pictures so you guys can take a look. I would like others who have recked the 05 boxes to give me what the insurance gave them if they totaled the box. It is a sad sad time. :x

hope you had GAP insurance...

~wC

i got 13k for trade in on my 05 pw xB totally stock with 8k miles. i dunno if what insurance would give is much different.

email me the pictures to pictures@wreckedscions.com and i will put them up for you

how did it flip? were you clipped or was there just a ditch or something?

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear about your roll over!
I'm glad everyone was OK!

Could you please explain what happened better? Did you
just not know about a turn and go off the road? Do you feel
the box was easy to tip, or was it a curb or ditch that
really threw you over?

Good luck with the insurance, I hope it doesn't bite you in
the long run!

I just hit NADA to see what bluebook would be, and it's
too new of a vehicle for them to have any pricing. So, sorry
but I can't help you out there either.

Well my xB went off the road on to a sloped ditch that had about a 330 degree pitch and stoped for about three seconds then it rolled on to its roof inverted. I personally do not think that it rolled due to the fact of how the car was made but due to a shift of weight in the soft clay dirt the ditch was made of. None of the glass was broken out of the car or even cracked. The fram seems straight the doors all operate fine. But the roof is dented inwards in to the passanger cockpit from where the window starts to about two feet back. The interor held fine. The seat belts kept all the passangers firm in the seats while the car was inverted. But if any one could give me any info on other boxes that fliped I would appreciate it very much so. I really think the scion xB is a stable car. The edge of the road was no firm enough to hold it. I felt safe throught the whole experence and was amazed to how the ole box held up.

Here fellas. I was able to post one of my Scion after I put it upside down so here goes. We got lucky that the side of the road where it went off was perfectly cleared out. Probably from other cars.

WOW :eyes: I'm glad you are ok!

hmm wow doesnt look too bad though... assuming it got flipped back over without incident, could be alright if its just dents and paint. if its structural.. yeah then its toast... but i'm thinking its a good sign that no glass broke.

anyhow sorry to hear about your accident...

Holy smack. Looks like virtually no damage. wow.

Glad your ok, it dosn't look like it is yours, it even looks old, but the beer bottle looks great next to the fliped vehicle.

Holy smack. Looks like virtually no damage. wow.

glad your ok and keep us informed on what the outcome is of your ride

Thanks for the photo and the description, sounds like the
xB handled the rough treatment well.

Again, good luck with the insurance (and the beer bottle
in the photo!! LOL).

(and the beer bottle
in the photo!! LOL).
lol I noticed that too. It looks to be an old curbside toss but.......

Did anyone notice, the dome light was still on? Tough light.

Glad your okay.

Clean undercarriage. :P

Ouch... Glad to hear everyone is OK...
Hope you get your ride back soon... Good luck to you..

Holy smack. Looks like virtually no damage. wow.

I bet the other side doesn't look so good though!

Clean undercarriage.

Now we understand better that bumper sticker that says "keep the rubber side down!"

Keep us up to date on what happens brother, and take care.

I dont want to even imagine how a tC would hold up if it were flipped upside down with the all glass roof. Im thinking a lot of head and face injury?

Look on the bright side. Now's a great time to do that cat-back mod. Much easier to get to. :rofl:

there's a post somewhere around here or maybe another site, but someone did get an in accident in a tc and flipped over. driver and passenger were fine with a few bruises. the accident was bad enough that the car had to get totaled. they went back to their dealer and got another one.

How many miles do you have on the car?
I am on my second 05 Xb. The first one was completely demolished in a hurricain off the Outer Banks, NC. By the time I got down there I had 2100 miles on it (broke it in for 1200 before driving from Ma. to NC). The insurance company paid exactly what I paid for it Luckily. Hope everything works out for you. It does not look like your car is totaled though. Glad you and your compadres are safe.

Rock the Box!

Matt

IS this the new way to show off the bottom of the car?? Good idea for a show...Only messing..Glad everyone is okay!

you mean a square box can accually roll? :-D

huge fender gap!!!!
you have to lower your center of gravity so it won't flip.
just kiding!!!!
glad your fine, keep us posted.

That's so sad :( i feel really bad for you. Are you ok? is the car totaled? The car is in its dead position.........All fours up! sorry. Hope everything goes ok. Hope you keep your box!

Sorry to see the inverted box.
Maybe it could be the start of a convertable conversion???

Sad to hear your news but amazed at how well the box took that incident. I can clone out the beer bottle in Photoshop for the right price... If you're not willing ot pay, I may clone in the other 5 of the 6-pack... hehehe

It looks like a turtle on its back...

Well guys I got the call from my insurance and it's not totaled but has $6000 worth of damage. Oh well my friends are ok and the cars getting fixed. Thanks for the concern and help. She's a tought little mofo. Once thanks guys for the support.

looks like some body wants a belly rub :rolling:

Man, I just picked up my used hot lava XB from an abusive kid in Fresno. Scratches, dings, and a cig burn in one seat ! I guess thats what happens when your mother pays the bills ! I got it for a steal as it needs some work and I paint so thats cool. But on the way home from CA to WA state, someone hit it real slight in the rear. It was at the hotel I stayed at. Just another light scrape on the bumper. I'd be ____ed but I bought it knowing I was going to be painting a lot of it. To top it off someone tryed to break into it and pryed on the door a bit scratching the paint there, and leaving a coat hanger poking up out of the door. Man I was glad to get the poor thing home ! It will be on it's way to a fresh coat of Hot Lava where needed, and a much better owner........Keep the Rubber Side on the road ! Best of luck with your insurance.

The first one was completely demolished in a hurricain off the Outer Banks, NC

Wow, that hurts to look at. Glad to hear that you and your friends are OK... :clap:

Bummer huh? I think it was hurricain Alex. We were staying in Buxton. What sucked is that everyone was saying it was just a tropical storm then blamo..... category 2 hurricain. The box was completely flooded and windows blown out. Did your Jeep get it bad?
