Yaris turned coke can

[TickleTimeTim]

Driving down the highway last night, I came over a hill to find a car at a complete stop. I thought it was merely slowing down so I slowed to about 65mph just in time to realize the car was completely stopped. So I crushed my car on a rav4. Broken left patella and some scratches. I guess I got lucky, considering. Also, no airbag deployed which is ironic because I swapped out my aftermarket steering wheel to put my stock steering wheel back in for airbag reasons. Must not have connected it correctly. If I can go strip parts off it later I may be selling stuff. Like armrest, hatch cover, window visors and stuff. Anyways, this is what you have been waiting on...pictures.

Yikes, man! Glad you weren't seriously hurt.

[CTScott]

Ouch! Glad to hear you are mostly OK.

Pretty scary that the airbag did not deploy. If you are going to part her out, it would be interesting to assess why it did not.

[fnkngrv]

Wow...so sorry to see and hear! At least once again this platform has shown that it can take a beating and protect the occupants!

Yikes, man! Glad you weren't seriously hurt.

^^^^^Ditto. Amazing little cars. Some people viewing the 'coke can' result might guess that the driver didn't survive.

[Astroman]

Holy crap! Glad you're ok!!! :eek: Obviously it's totaled what will you be replacing the Yaris with?

[yougojay]

Really glad you are OK - that must have been pretty scary.
Hang in there and be well

[TickleTimeTim]

yeah, everyone that sees it and the pictures says I'm lucky to be alive. im on craigslist running through options now. Subaru would be nice. my family is def pushing for me to get a bigger car though. haha

i have loved this community and all the positivity of it. thank you all for the support and friendships we've had over the years

[TickleTimeTim]

[SilverBack]

Holy shit... Hope you had a beer after this. Glad you're okay.

[IllusionX]

glad you are ok dude.

You rear ended the Rav4,i wonder if that make you automatically at fault..

[TickleTimeTim]

I did have a beer after it, which apparently is frowned on for 2 days after a concussion.

And yeah I was at fault, but I knew that from the start. I remember thinking, "dang, if nobody hits me right now, this is my fault." Very sad thing to think but insurance has a way of raping people.

Sorry to hear about the crash dude, I ran into a fence the other night(fell asleep at the wheels). I feel so bad as my poor Vitz looks mangled, the good news is that cars can be replaced and we lived to drive another day :)

[Yaristeve]

And yeah I was at fault, but I knew that from the start.

Unless the car was sitting on the shoulder of the road out of traffic or you were going at a way excessive speed, I wouldn't accept/admit that from the start.

Anyway, good that your okay.

[Blazeblue]

Dang man scary. Hope everything is ok and goodluck with your recovery. If you can get the visors let me know how much plus shipping.

[Hershey]

:eyebulge: . Good to see you're not seriously injured . Hope you have better days ahead . A shame about the car :frown: .

[brg88tx]

I would think the rav4 is partly at fault if he was dead stopped without his hazards on.

[tk-421]

Glad you're OK! :thumbsup:

[rapev-8]

please let me get your side skirts!!!!!!!!

[TickleTimeTim]

So I have recieved a few pms, however, the insurance company would not let me strip just any ole thing of the car. What I could get was the window visors, arm rest, and shifter extender. That's it. I would like to bundle all three of these things and sell as one package. I was thinking $100 for all. I'll listen to input on the prices if they seem to be too high.

Also, been driving my wife's 06 chevy aveo, and bought her a 2014 jeep compass. Of course she gets the sweeter ride. Time to work on the aveo I guess.

[detroiter]

Not to say you're an example, but to anyone who says these cars are not safe...they're full of shit. Show them these pics and they speak for themselves. Glad you're safe man! The car can be replaced! May I suggest a Mazda Rx8? :)

[JustPassinThru]

You maybe want something more upscale...but, what car is gonna do what this one has done?

I make it no secret - I'm sold on Toyotas. If you're not lusting for something different, specifically...I'd get another Yaris.

It done you well...stick with what works.
