Yup one year, one and a half months, 31,500 miles and its totaled... Or atleast I am pretty sure it is... You be the judge when you see the photos. :rolleyes:

So I was leaving my last interview, by the way I got the job, and it is raining like a mother. If you live on the east coast you know that we got hit with the after math of the two hurricanes that hit down south. I'm getting on the highway on a down hill slight right curved on ramp doing about 40 MPH.


And then I'm sideways... Yank the wheel to counter and nothing. I feel my self hit the grass and I know I'm not getting myself out of this, so I just brace my self for impact and close my eyes.

I feel a bang but no movement, then another crunch alot of movement and then BAM the last hit and I'm stopped.

I open my eyes. I look around and realize the car is still running So I turn it off.

I look down to and I quote my self here" Do I have all my FEET.?" I said this outloud to myself. Do they work. Can I move?"... Good. Now find your phone. I fumble for it and find it under the passenger seat. I pick it up and look behind. me... My back sunroof is shattered so to attempt to keep some stuff dry I close the sun shade... Bot that it really mattered considering the hatch was gone.

SO I call 911 and then I notice the engine is smoking... and I say

"Self, you just impacted a tree at 40 MPH and your gas tank took the brunt of it. Your engine is smoking and theres a Honda Pilot that has pulled over to help you... Get out of the car.

So then you know the usual BS from there deal with the cops and what not.

Fast forward to Monday. Accident happened on Saturday. I took the day off to get my stuff out of the car and drop the transmission out of the 3000GT so I could get the flywheel out to be machined if necessary.

SO I call enterprise to set up a reservation for a rental. My insurance company is gonna give me a rental for 30 days. SO I get a ride from my buddy Kyle there and as we're pulling up I see a Jeep Liberty a Nissan altima and a Pt Cruise... Guess what I get...

The Pt Cruiser or as my friend affectionately calls it "The Anal Cruiser" Well I can't drive it as the seats kill my back and the gas mileage is under 20! SO I'll deal with that later today.

SO then we go to the auto body to get my stuff out... Manly I need my check book, some of my dress clothes and my travel tool box I had in there from my trip to the junk yard... roughly $400 in tools.

So we get there and I can't find my tool box...about 20 minutes later I find it wedged between the frame some body and the hatch.... 10 minutes later its free.

I'm sick of typing, heres the photos. :thumbsup: Actually before I do, We also went to the scene of the accident and figured out what happened.

As I was coming down the ramp I hydroplaned at the curve sending my ass end to the right so I was facing were I was merging on the left. I then slid down the ramp and off to the right taking out a sign, first impact.

Then slid into a tree with the driver side rear corner sending me into a full 360 into another tree which finally stopped me. The distance I did the full 360 between the two trees is about ten feet if that.

Now for photos.

at least u survived to tell the tale. and u got all your stuff out of the car, which is cool. i know some crooks that might have jacked it and then been like "must have gotten thrown when you crashed"...seen it happen

Which is why I got most of it out before it got towed. Like my passport.

But I wouldn't have minded losing anything like my tools as my insurance would have been paying for it.

good point, then with the check you can get even better stuff :D

man o man that was a bad one good think your okay

Holy shit! Glad you're ok.... I was wondering about that post last night.

Congrats about the job btw.

Thanks.

I will honestly recommend the Scion TC to anyone looking for a car. Even if there had been a person in the back seat they would have been fine.

With the exception of the transmission being short, and the rear sunshade rattling if it was open, may have just been my car I had no complaints

Air bags did not deploy and if you look closely in the first picture I just noticed I'm crawling around the front of the car.

good thing for crumple zones. glad you're ok.


btw what was the job you just got?

dude, shitty man.

a moment of silence for the scion................. (taps playing)

and now on to the porsche you want to tubro, make the move bro

You may be safe...

But that still doesnt change the fact that TC stands for TotalCrap

I sell 15 brands and used cars.

My Home Office is Ford Lincoln Mercury Mitsubishi but I also sell GMC, Pontiac, Chevy, Sabb, Caddilac, Hyundai, Nissan, Saturn, Subaru and... two or three others.

And for under $18,000 after tax title and tags for a car with six miles on it I'm still happy with what it was. Plus the after market for the TC is really coming around. I can argue with you till I'm dead so it ends here. Open any tuner magazine and you will see high horsepower high torque TC's whooping ass... when they manage to keep their axles in one piece.

SO on to my next car. Probably, a TL or TSX to hold me over till the 135i that I want becomes available.

Man... now you gotta have pwee send you some more stickers

Good call, do you need more?

stickers????

yeah i got them on my car. i've actually advertised the site to a couple people i've seen here in VA too. just white "mitsubishi-forums.com" decals

check it out

I still have them tucked away in my 3000GT manual... one is missing the "F" though.

they gave me a little more then $15,000 for the car. which will leave me with just enough for a down payment.
