Well it was raining pretty hard and i was going on the highway flowing with traffic about 60 mph. Theres a low point on the highway in the fast lane and when it rains a nice size puddle forms. I hit the puddle, felt myself loosing control, so i counter steered but nothing so bam right into the jersey wall and then spun me to my left did a complete 360. then hit the wall a second time. all three air bags deployed. the knee airbag hurt alittle afterwards. I didnt even feel the main airbag. Yes i was wearing my seatbelt. Heres the pics:

 

wow, I never expected you to crash. But it happens to the best of us I guess. Hope you feel better.

Oh, she isnt totalled or anything? keep us updated

 

That damage in the front looks like it could total it - if it pushed the frame at all. Depends on how hard the hit was. That sucks man. Good thing you're ok. Were there any other cars involved?

 

they probaby wont cover the extra stuff you put in there though

 

yea the radiator is pushed in about 1 or 2 inches along with the support. i didnt think id crash either.......just goes to show you that it could happen it you.......not jynxing anyone.........:D The state tropper said that there was nothing i could do so that made me felt better. ill keep yall updated. o and i have a aftermarket insurence on my policy and they will cover up to a certain dollar amount, just not sure if it applies to my hood.

 

poor tC

 

It was pouring hard the other day (so hard everyone put their emergency signals on) on the highway and everyone slowed down to ~45 MPH, even on the fast lane. Don't mean to bite on your thread but a safe driver is a defensive one. I hope your tC will be back on the road with the rest of us

 

They say to keep 4 seconds from anything in front... I try to keep at least 2.... this way, I have at least 2 seconds to react to something. Of course, I must be able to see 2 seconds ahead as well for this to work.

always imagine the worst that could happen... here are some interesting tips:

1) I've noticed that deer are more likely to be on right lanes, or come running from the (your) right side, so stay on left lane if possible.

2) One side of the road tends to have more puddles than the other.

3) Never drive next to a truck, esp. when driving under overpasses or short bridges -- yes, I have seen a truck hit an over pass twice. Accelerate or descelerate before overpass.

4) There will be times when braking too hard will cause car to skid, better to have a planned escape and a flat tire than skidding (such as going off the road).

5) Most accidents can be prevented with a 4 second distance... but I admit that is a lot and hard to keep, so just imagine the worst, and what you would do if it happened, every drive, every day, and when something does happen, it will be ALMOST second nature.

Hope you feel better and that this never happens to you again. Did you have GAP insurance?

 

yep i got gap insurence!!!!! last min decsion on my part to get it when i bought the car. btw my car is number 79 in the same spot for accidents, theres a case suit against the city for that part of the highway.

 

woah, glad your ok...

Yea you would be the last person on here, i would think wouldget into a Accident...

bummer...

 

Maybe your insurance will luck out and get reimbursed from the city at some point.

 

seeing that makes my car sad..

 

Wow, pretty serious damage! You ok dude? Must have been scary

 

so when do we find out if it was totalled??? I know what your sig says, but thats ben on there since monday.

 

Would an insurance company have a right to sue the city on your behalf? I have no clue in these legal matters. Were you wearing pants or a long dress when the knee airbags deployed? (As opposed to short shorts or a short skirt) I'm curious if you suffered any rashes or burns or anything.

 

First dibs on the intake. haha. Sorry to hear about your accident.

 

^^^ Lol, GMoney in a skirt/dress!!

 

^ hes a Dude...

i thought he was a chick to, Cause of that pic, lol

 

Jeezus, have some respect guy! Gmoney's car is smashed to sh1te, and people are circling around like vultures!!!! Did you even ask him if he wants to sell his intake?? If his car is total, he might be taking it out and putting on his new ride!

How would you feel if your car was smashed to pieces, and you didn't even know if it was gonna be totalled, or "attempted repair", and some guy started claiming parts of your car???? I am sure that Gmoney's priorities right now are not who he is selling what parts to...i'm sure it's more along the lines of "My car is really F'd up, and I want to know what is happening with it".

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but that's just not cool. at the very minimum, you should at least ask him first, if he is interested in selling his parts, instead of just claiming you have first buyers rights.

 

Lol, yes, Gmoney is a dude...a pretty well known/ regarded one, at least within the Va/MD Scion community.
