Default Damn wing back chairs *edited*

This is what happens when people don't tie down there furniture while hauling it and it falls out and you try and avoid it only to hit another person who was also trying to avoid it but stopped so you run into them.Needless to say four people in the xb walk away and nobody was hurt but the xb is spending a few nights on the injured list.







some pictures from the holding area aka fenced in parking lot

HOLY COW THAT BRUISE LOOKS JUST LIKE A SCORPION D:

How fast were you going when you plowed into the other car? o_0 And, is this covered under the insurance of the mouth-breathing dumbass who couldn't tie down a chair correctly?

Sorry to hear about your accident, I really get ____ed when I see furniture hanging out the back of a truck not secured properly.

I see that all the time here in San Diego, usually it's a small pick up with Tijuana plates that's loaded up with furniture in the back secured with only a rope. It's scary as hell and I try to stay far away from them, just a couple weeks ago while I was on the I-5 there was a Lazyboy just sitiing in one of the lanes perfectly upright, I wonder how that happened?

Really puts the rocks that trucks kick up in perspective, huh? The grand piano in the back of the 1988 S-10 in front of you would prooobbably do a little more damage than cracking windshield number four. ;)

Holy crap! I just finished posting on another thread about a wrecked Envy Green xB. How may boxes are going to get done in this week?

Of coarse, always glad to see that no one was injured. I am beginning to suspect that other drivers out there are attempting to put Scion on the endangered species list!

That would have been the case of getting his plate number and going straight to the police station. Heck you even have his DNA right there to be tested. It's a heath hazard and vandalism. Stupidity should be painful!!!

I'm with you. The thought of that makes me SO MAD i'm shaking. That calls for tapping someone on the shoulder, and when they turn around, breaking their f**king nose. That'd teach him to be a bit more respectful of other peoples' property. What kind of waste of skin spits on someone's CAR?

Well word is that it's gonna be totalled I have no idea how insurance works when they total it but people have told me that it's the trade in value of the vehicle and kbb says thats around seven grand which is gonna suck because my brother still owes five on it.Which means we're gonna screwed either way because it appears that there is no way of replacing it as they quit making them.I'm sure he'd love a new one but the likelihood of that seems somewhat impossible at this point.

Wow, the airbags didn't even break the windshield. The airbags alone cost big bucks. Just take what you can get from the insurance and buy it back and have it made road worthy and fix it as you can afford to using salvage parts. Forget about replacing the airbags and you should have enough to repair it.

Any updates on what options you have. It still looks driveable and quite fixable in the right hands.

Looks like my Protege' 5, but atleast the payout on the total was enough to buy a Box outright, yes, no payments

BTW someone pulled a U-Turn in front of me and I T-Boned'em at about 55 mph.

For a small car it sure sent the Suburban spinning
