hey guys, i don't post here much but i read all the time. about 3 weeks ago now a guy decided to run a red light and turn left in front of me. i was going about 45 and he was going about 20. well, we hit head-on and needless to say, my car didn't survive. i was really suprised with how well the car held up though. i've been really sore, but i was able to get out and walk away. all the police/firefighters/guys at the dealership all were amazed that i was able to get out and walk away. the other driver had no seatbelt on and had to get medivac'd to the hospital (where he got to spend 2 weeks eating jello). i guess i just wanted to praise how well the tC held up, i doubt i would have been able to get out of many other cars the same way...

WOW

I am glad your alive!
I have not heard of one person dying in a tC in a crash.
The tC is VERY solid and safe.
In the words of D, "Ah, the selling power of non-fatal accidents."

One question: Do you happen to know what the other person was driving?

 

[zeke]

yeah, he was driving a 03 civic

 

[nY1018]

lol a civic did that??? wow.

 

[Drift Motion]

lol, civic, glad ur okay

tC = strong

 

[Plissken]

Glad you were able to walk away! Do you plan on getting another tC?

 

[nY1018]

th tc is like the skinny kid at school that gets f**ked up and stands up and says "i'm okay"

 

[zeke]

yeah i already have another one ordered... just have to wait for the insurance to payout before i can pick it up.

 

[moriarty]

wow, glad you made it through.

that picture makes me a little sick to my stomach.

 

[serith]

I'm glad to hear you're ok man. The tC deserves a medal of honor or something, it help up like a true champ.

Your accident aside, are you going to get the exact same tC, or are you going to get a different color, tranny, options, etc? Just curious. B/c if something happened to me like this (knock on wood), I think I'd change it up a bit.

 

[zeke]

getting basically the same one, probably going to try to change it up a bit as far as what i do to it, but we'll see. the big difference is that i'm getting the side air bags this time, you know.... just in case (knock on wood)

 

[basilisk4]

Glad you're okay, zeke. That must have been some impact, for a Civic to cause that kind of damage to your car.

 

[serith]

45mph + 20mph = 65mph crash

 

[Drift Motion]

it doesnt add up that way
one of the speed is eliminated when the car crashes

60mph head on another car doin 60mph is equal to 60mph goin into the wall

well if the person died, their friends/family aren't gonna find this site and post "he/she lost her life in an accident"

so most likely, you won't hear about someone dying in a tC in a crash. xD and hopefully, we never have to.


haha but anyway, someone taking physics should work this out and see what the actual speed of the impact is.

I know that. I am talking about, well in the news or online, or anywhere, I have never heard of anybody dying. After checking all the local police records, I found a few (probably about 6) accidents involving tC's and in NONE of them did the driver or any of the passengers die.

 

[donna]

you checked the local police records...???

 

[JFBP4991]

yes i did. (online)

Actually it was a project for school about accidents in our community. While I was at the site I decided to check on some cars in particular (Scion tC being one of them)

Make more sence now?

 

[pharoh]

That looks fixable

.

In all seriousness, glad you're okay, and hope you enjoy your new teaSee.

 

[moriarty]

yeah, that sh!t'll buff out.
