Default In case anyone is interested in how strong our cars really are

EDIT: PICS ON PAGE 2

I just got T-Boned today by some 16 year old kid. I was at a 4way stop, and on my left is a hill going down, so you can't see cars that are coming. As soon as I push it into first and get going, I look to my left and see this little **** coming at me going 50 - 60 mph it looked like. Next thing I know, the front of this kid car is ripped off and my driver door is up my ***. The ambulance came and took me to the hospital and checked my neck and hip and everything and I SEEM to be fine, for now, so they just gave me a prescription for Percocet and Valium and sent me on my way. I have a feeling I'm going to feel it all tomorrow morning.

Yeah my story sucked, but I just wanted to say, if I was in a 240sx or a Civic or something similar I would probably be dead. I will try to get pictures of my car tomorrow. I need to find out where they took it.

to Toyota build quality and safety.

Glad you made it out somewhat O.K. you won't feel the brunt of it for a couple of days, hopefully it won't be too bad. Feel bad about your car too.
