totaled...
hey guys its been awhile, and I'm sad to announce, my yaris has been totaled. It was a pretty ugly accident, ended up going into a ditch and flipping it. The good news however, is that I literally walked away from it wothout a single scratch, not even a bruise! lil stacy did her job and saved my life. Yet regardless of all this, I'm still more then likely going to get another yaris. I had alot of fun with this first one and now, with some experience, I feel this one will be even better then the one before! Ill post pics of the carnage wrought to my yaris later today.

yup it was truly sad especially since two hours prior to the accident I had just finished having my off centered racing stripe put on :/ it looked amazing! so I think Im gunna do sorta the same thing this time around only in a white/blue theme instead of black/red Ive kind of started to take notice that every modder in my area has a black and red themed car... just didnt want to join the stereotype haha

Glad you're OK, the Yaris went out like a champ protecting it's owner.

thanks guys. well Im gunna try and explain the scenario as best I can. I was driving down a two lane road in the left lane with a pick up truck in front of me about a car and a half away. In front of him was another car in which he was tailing within mere inches. I decide to get into the right lane and get around him cuase I felt kinda bad about the situation. I check my side mirror then over my shoulder, the coast was clear and as soon as I turned back around he was right in front of me. past that I guess adrenaline took over becuase I dont remember much just swerving over correcting then goin into the ditch on the side of the road. Car then went airborne (or so witnesses' say) landed sideways, then rolled once. When I came to off the rush the car was on its passenger side and I was still strapped in my seat. Took my seatbelt off fell to the door then started trying to get out. My driver door wouldnt open or unlock and the back hatch doesnt open from the inside. I then realized the power was still on so I rolled down the window and climed out. the prosiding police officer said I was lucky to be alive becuase the place where I landed into the flip was within feet of a firehydrant and a telephone poll on either side. Actually retyping this story makes me really gratefull to have survived that and without a single injury to boot! I will miss my yaris but she saved my life and now shes in a better place racing with lambos and ferraries hahaha
yes. yes she did. haha

Glad to hear you're OK. I'd be a sad day for me if my Yaris got totaled. But any accident you walk away from is a good one.

Yes thank God you came out uninjured!
Strange about the airbags not deploying. Toyota might want to know about that. Hope you have good insurance. |

Sometimes airbags aren't supposed to go off.
@Dadams: Good to know you're OK. What year Yaris are you thinking of getting?
