Crashed Yaris







Naaah, it's not mine. I just saw this on my way home from work yesterday. This really isn't a good season for Yarii.

Mine had almost the exact same type of damage after my collision with a color-blind out-of-towner that ran a red light. That happened within 4 or 5 weeks having the car.

I feel for whomever this belongs to.

Hmmm... The red ones do seem to have a "target acquisition" problem. That's why my new one was requested "any colour but red".
Emmanna, if you're reading this, my sympathies.

I wonder if the Ford truck was involved in the accident?

This is getting SCARY! One of the reasons I bought a red one is so it would stand out more aka "not get hit".

That is the same reason why I choose red too.

That's what I thought, too. However, I have a history of trouble with red cars.

1970-something Renault 4 - rear-ended and totalled in the UK.
1998 Honda Accord wagon - took a 6: rock through the nose at 120 mph closing speed - not funny. $1000 to "fix" but never ran right or could shut the hood afterwards.
2007 Red Yaris HB. Broadside by Toyota van - totalled.

My oldest kid has also taken out 3 red cars. We are no longer allowed that colour....

My last ride was a 2003 Saturn Ion. I got rear-ended at 35mph and they totaled it. Thats why my Yaris is yellow :)

I would think so, since they're on the same tow truck. Kinda funny, seeing how little damage trucks and suv's take when hitting smaller cars.

I have a 3 dr blue, and I have to stop all the time for people pulling out in front of me, and I have to flash my brake lights at people sometimes cause they don't seem to be stopping in time. I have heard several people squeal tires to stop behind me, and several cars not even look in my direction in front of me. I have had 4 seriously close calls in my car, including a scratch on my rear bumper, and both mirrors pushed into the car (they fold in, luckily) and the other driver appoligizing over and over, "I didn't see you! I am so sorry!". It's just a small car.
