Glad you are all safe.
What caused the Instrument Panel to go in like that? I hope no one hit that. |

When I was a kid we lived at the top of a very steep, curvy hill. I used to take pride in rolling down the hil around the corners with no hands on the handlebars of my bicycle. One day I saw a bee off to my right going across the road. Maybe it was a wasp? Anyways it hit my belly below the edge of my t shirt and got underneath it. It stung me three times with my hands off the handlebars going pretty fast. Lucky I saw it coming and grabbed for the bars in spite of being stung.
It was a good thing I did that because if I fell I probably wouldnt be here.

What a shame. Sorry this happened to you. I'm terrified of bees. Have been since I was a kid. I would have had a shit fit if that happened to me....
Glad you guys are okay. I love the Echo. I like the style, probably even moreso than the Yaris body style. |

I had one of these and it was a fine car and I loved the dash on these. Too bad about the crash. Looks like it was a beauty.
