Yaris got smashed. look at pics!!

[sportin83]

i was driving my yaris on wed 4-29. i was making left turn and a silverado hit me on right front corner, was almost head on crash, i was going about 15mph and truck was probably going about 40 to 45 mph. was big bang. i am very sore, but not seriously hurt. i say the yaris is a safe ride. i just got bruises from seat belt and from my shin hitting under dash, my left hand is swollen from hitting the steering wheel and it hurts little. the car is totaled insurance said, which is what i expected by seeing it.

Dang! I'm glad you walked away from that.

With all of the Yaris getting hit lately, I think we need a group buy on giant flashing yellow lights.

[YAR1S]

yikes! did you get all your audio/screen outta there?!

[tristan]

holy crap, glad your okay!
it seems every time i log into YW lately someone has gotten into an accident :(

[Pitt Yaris]

I'm about to retire the yaris for a while and ride the bus. This stuff is getting crazy the past few weeks on here with all the accidents/totaled yaris'.

[supmet]

Those pictures are painful to look at.

Glad to hear your ok!

[jinxor]

That looks like a really hard hit mate!!
Glad you only got away with minor bruises...

[TgrChica7]

WOW! I'm glad to hear that you're ok!

[mr9865]

freaky amount getting smashed up, all liftbacks too

[dg4rez]

man that sucks! Hope you feel better and go out and get a new yaris.. maybe a black one =P

Will your system mods come out easy?

[edisonfire]

"coming soon: window tint, custom sub grills, tach and........ "

i guess you're not getting that done anymore..

glad to here you're okay and that the yaris holds its own

[yaris-me]

Glad you're OK.:thumbsup:

Glad you're OK.:thumbsup:

That's great news indeed. You need to get a medical ASAP if you haven't yet, since there might still be some concerns with internal injuries. You can never be too careful in these situations!

[jambo101]

Glad you are ok ,you will feel a lot better after sucessfully suing the pickup driver for a million bucks.Did he run a red light or a stop sign?

+1 on that , glad you feel ok but highly recommend a full check up,
Coming from someone that didn't and i am now paying the price for it .
2yr's and counting off work,:eek: and was just told today i need another operation on my neck and back.

[ddongbap]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK........

That's no shit man, though it does seem safe. Glad to hear no major injuries.

[IllusionX]

this looks as bad as echo_hr's crash. except he got t-boned.

[SailDesign]

Glad to see you're OK - I guess someone has to make sure new Yarii get built... I love my new one, but wish the wheels from the old one had been worth saving....

[eTiMaGo]

holy crap sorry to hear that, dumb old truck tried to rip the Yaris' head off...

[TheSilkySmooth]

Glad you're OK, but it seems you were turning in front of oncoming traffic. Did you have a left turn green arrow and the truck ran the red? These big chevy trucks seem to hate yaris drivers - also the fords. I think The Dodges are neutral like the Netherlands ,,,

[SIPNGAS]

Good grief!! Safe INDEED...I'm so glad you're relatively ok compared to your car...sheesh.

[Carrot Top]

Wow, your pictures are incredible! My God, seeing the pictures of your car and knowing that you only received some bruises is a freaking miracle! Glad you are okay, buddy!!
What hit the windshield?
I have to say that since getting the Yaris, I find SO MANY people cut me off...I thought having an orange car would make people see me better...it doesn't.

[Revsson]

I want to also say I am glad you are okay. I was down in Illinois for a swapmeet, and
some of those Chicagoland drivers are nuts. All those construction zones on I-294
don't slow them down. I had a Silverado once, but what I liked was that I was sitting
up higher than a regular car. Thus, I had a better view of the road ahead.
Like others have said, get a medical report and I hope you had some witnesses to
support your side of the story.
Let us know how this turns out.

[Darb]

Glad to hear you're ok.

freaky amount getting smashed up, all liftbacks too

I'm starting to wonder about the visibility of the Yaris. I've only had mine for about 3 months now and I am frequently dodging idiots who nearly sideswipe me.

[kuyachris84]

damn that sucks man... good thing ur not severely injured. With all these crashes and a lot of people reporting back alive and well.... I'll have to say that the Yaris is a pretty darn safe car! :thumbup:

[tomato]

:eyebulge: Holly cow!! :eyebulge:

Glad you walked away from that one!

BTW, how do you do the pics mosaics? that looks awesome.

I'm real sorry about your Yaris.

[miketejero]

I was about to say "that's a bad crash", but then it got me thinking, you're the victim in that accident. Its good to know that you're safe and it proves the Yaris can hold up its own from the much bigger vehicles.

You should get a Yaris with bright colors, so those "drivers" can see you even at night.

Now you have a reason to get the latest-model Yaris.

[*MAD DOG*]

Ouch. You going to get another Yaris?

[cfiimei]

Whaddya mean totaled? A little bondo and she'll be good!

..... seriously... glad you're ok. Glad no one was riding shotgun too...

[toast]

Very glad to hear you're ok. Looks like the Yaris took the hit very well considering. I have to agree with the earlier comment about Yaris visibility. For some reason I too have had several near misses from people turning out in front of me. I wonder if the small size plays tricks on people's perpective / depth perception?

[The little red pill]

Glad you weren't seriously hurt. I'm still recovering for a broken back from my last accident. I was in my Tahoe and a Nissan Titan hit me. That's how I got my new Yaris!

[sportin83]

i got all system out but 1 door speaker got ruined and indash radio and amps still need tested. i got as many other mods i could. foglights and strut bar are toast. right now no new yaris yet. i am laid off right now so i am just gona drive my ol truck for now till i get job and maybe new one then. im gona pass some stuff on to my buddy who has almost same car.

[SilverBack]

*notices buckled and shredded dash* :eek:

I swear if I didn't know how safe the Yaris was, I would've assumed you died in that wreck. Very glad to see your okay overall. You got REALLY lucky it wasn't on your side

Screw it, I'm bumming rides and keeping cab companies on speed-dial from now on...

[CtrlAltDefeat]

wow... you are so lucky that was on the other side... really sucks though... my accident allowed me to get my Yaris, so I was lucky in that respect. sorry to hear you're laid off, thank God you have a backup vehicle...

[TheKuma]

Wow, glad you are safe! So you're going to buy a new one? It's nice to see our little cars aren't death traps.

[Vinsanity]

Damn, good thing ur safe man. i cant imagine myself getting into an accident like that

[SMALLNUMBERS]

We need to start an official CRASH Thread... that's kinda scary actually...

[Cutie Pie #2]

WoOW! that is bad, but glad to see you are Ok. Hopefully everything works out for you. I just hit a deer with my yarii.

[PHXDEMON]

Your Yaris got bitch slapped :laugh: Glad to see you made it out all right :thumbsup:

[Treyz]

Thank god you are all right. I mean with all the hype with the car crash tests they did recently that hit the news, you made it out in one piece.

What's next on the list? Another Yaris?

[sportin83]

right now im just gona get insurance and pay off car. then maybe after i get a job i will buy another car, but i still got my truck to drive for now.
