ahhhh! :cry: I read the other posts but this is 1,000 worse. Poor car! (and everyone involved in the accident!)

oh my thank god ur ok

that's pretty bad demage. hope you get your replacement car soon.

Damn that was a nasty wreck.

That'll buff right out. :lol: :lol:

I'm glad that nobody was killed in that.

Hope you get a new one soon.

Dave.

that hurts!!!!!!!

sorry to hear the incident...hope insurance take care everything for you

D@MN, this is the one where the ABS locked?

its a miracle u survived that without losing any body parts! i hope u get well soon!

Theres no better feeling then knowing that you are sitting inside a car made of stirafoam :( (spelling error i know)

Why cant they make cars like they used to... You know... With a thing called metal?

Styrofoam is much better at obsorbing and dispersing energy. Would you rather run into a wall of styrofoam or a brick wall? You can actually get a feel of the styrofoam if you pop the hood. You can see some of the foam from the front bumper. It's pretty stiff stuff so it's not like it's going to simply flatten out.

And I thought my dent was bad! Thankfuly your ok man!

That was some wreck! I can't believe how the wheel was broken like that!

Hope you get better soon. Sorry about your car. We'll build another for you.

LATER

I have to ask you.. how do you feel about the tC after being in that wreck? -- I've been in a 70mph head on colision with a 1970-vintage truck (1/2 ton, I think, swerved at full speed into an oncoming lane and ran a red light as I was making a left turn into the same lane -- *her fault*) .. My Saturn SW2 absorbed everything and I only had a scrached finger and knee. I love Saturns and the features they built into that car so I could walk away from that wreck -- I never felt quite as safe in cars without those features..
Anyway, I'm a big fan of airbags and even opted for the side airbags in my tC..

So, Other than the ABS locking up or whatever, in the event of a crash, how do you feel about the safety features of the tC? --I'm just curious about your opinion after having first hand experience

-K

PS Hope you're recovering okay! Sounds like you were just banged up.. Glad it wasn't worse!

Yea hope your OK, and how was the drivers side air bag? did it work?

that crash looks bad. are you ok?

:cry:
Silver 5-speed just like my tC. Glad your ok, Keep us updated on this ABS thing, hope it is not a problem on all tCs.

And that's after hitting a tree going 40mph with locked up wheels? Our cars are... soft.

Have you had any discussions with Toyota about this. If so, what do they say?

Roy

Wow. It sucks, but you walked away from it. I still can't believe it though...that's quite a whack.

wtf? are you talkin to us from the undead? thats like "YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE DEAD" type crash..

since your alive that means the scion tC is very safe.

guess our TC has very good crash rating of front hit? sorry to say that, but it looks front end very bad, but stop crash at the whindshiled.

Is your insurance pay you new car?

BTW: want to sell your spare parts?

Once the car is totalled, and the insurance company is paying for your new car, the totalled vehicle becomes the property of the insurance company. You can't start scavenging it for parts.

I'm just asking :D

:shock: wow! I'm glad you're ok and that you're the one who is posting and not a family member saying look what hapened to my brother, son, cousin, etc.

how did that happen again? did you say you got hit by a train? what are those wheels made out of plastic?

so much worse than i imagined. glad u r still here man. damn

Ouch! Well, I have to say I've been wearing my seatbelt just to shutup that damn belt alarm.

This is the accident that occured when I was going 40 MPH and the ABS locked up in the rear which sent me spinning as I did move around an animal. The ABS locked up as I was going back into my lane. It was a defect but it is undetermined if it is on all the tC's. Hopefully it is just mine. Yeah I am OK. I am actually standing in one of those pics. I am just real soar. The pains in my hip and left arm are getting worse like the Doc said they would. I should be back in work nect Wednesday though so here is hoping I get better sooner. I want another tC real bad. My g/f who was in the accident needed a new car so she went and bought the Corolla S today. She had the same salesman as I did and he told her that if I was planning on getting another tC than I better hurry because the wait will be tremendous. That is the only problem with the damn cars; you have to wait forever and I NEED a car, I do not have the time to wait a month or more. Classes start Aug. 30 at college. In anycase, due to the amount of protection it offered and how well we came out of the crash, I want another one real bad. I did manage to take some stuff from my car while it was at the impound lot. I took the Grill that says Scion, it popped off in perfect condition, ditto with the left headlight, that is in perfect condition and it popped right off in the accident. I also took my liscence plate, duh. And I got my floor mats. HAH. The rest of my car is now in Allstate's hands. I called Scion and made a claim about the brakes and that was that. I will most likely get nothing from this except screwed, that seems to be my Karma but I am still waiting to hear back from my insurance agent about things and if they plan on investigating. Should be sometime this week that I hear from them. I am hoping for the best and that my Insurance does not sky rocket or drop me. Thanks for the Well Wishes.

Holy ____! I still can't believe that the alloys actually broke

hope you feel better soon.

Yikes!!! Glad to see you ARE OK.

wow...i am so very sorry, at least you are well enough to tell the story.

:cry: Sorry about ur car man, but glad u're OK. Thanks for posting all this information up.
