hit from behind.. i guess i did ok. its been about a month and a half since the accident and the damage is about 8-9 thousand.

 

Did you have to pay?

 

how is your seat crooked?

 

well this kid had little to no insurance and since im fully loaded no. but i have a lawyer and im going to physical therap[y 3 days a week. i should be coming out of this ok. after talking with the auto body i should be having my car back in 2 weeks.. grrrr....

 

well im 6'5 300 pounds.. and when i came back to rest in my seat. i hit the corner of the seat causing it too bend.i guess i need to go on a diet LOL

i never even saw the guy coming . and i hit my head on the sunroof.LOL

 

You sound like a professional football player or the Incredible Hulk. How do you survive a hit by a car going 70 mph?

 

I would be shocked that the frame isn't bent. Unibody cars suck after an accident that bends the frame. I'm shocked they are fixing it and not totaling it out.

 

what does this mean?? *any* insurance should cover you 100%, correct?

btw, I'd push to have it totalled.

 

well he had the california state minimum.. so "my" insurance is having to pick up the rest.

im just glad i care enough to over insure my self so that others wont get screwed

on a side note im trying to sell the pedistal spoiler. i had them take it off when they put on a new trunk.

 

rally you have 4% tint, you got any pictures of that?

 

Sorry to hear about your accident. I must say, however, that the person who hit you couldn't have been travelling at 70mph at the time of impact (unless he was on a motorcycle, or fired out of a cannon, I suppose.) I would be surprised if the car that hit you was going more than 30 mph at the time of impact.

 

oh dear god. that sucks.

 

I agree the force of a 70mph car hitting you from behind would have destroyed 50 to 70 percent of the car and you would have been in the hospital. Im very glad your ok though.

 

once i get the car back ill post pics of the tint. and the S-Tech springs


the only reason i say 70, because thats what he admited too.

i just got off the phone with the body shop and they say both of my seats are dust they need to order new ones

 

I walked away from a HEAD-ON of about the same magnitude.. I was turning left with a green arrow at 5-10mph and an uninsured idiot woman (trying to be nice) in the lane I'm turning into, coming at me at ~65mph. My Saturn absorbed everything.. it was totalled -- the entire front end was above or behind the front wheels. I had two scratches from hitting my keys in the ignition -- that's it.

Stranger things have happened I guess!

Rally -- glad to hear you're ok!

-K

 

You could probably complain to (or more accurately, sue) Scion about the seat. It's not supposed to collapse like that when you get rear-ended. A number of car manufacturers have been sued for similar engineering defects. You might want to talk to a lawyer.

 

I walked away from a head-on where I was going 35 and the other guy was going 45. He came over the double yellow, and they had to pry our cars apart with 2 tow trucks. I was fine, just a scratch on the wrist from where I cut myself when the steering wheel broke and was pushed forward. Anything's possible, but I also doubt taht the guy was doing 70mph.

 

holy crap. really?

 

70 - 5 = 65mph crash, that seems a lot. Your back window should be completely shattered. This looks more like a < 30mph collision.
