It's just plain simple luck.

Well, no car is completely safe.. and no car ever will be with the exception of it having no motor, no wheels, etc. etc. etc... But, some cars are obviously more safe than others and that's when stuff like this comes into play. For example, I've seen quite a few wrecked 7th gens that just shrugged off the accident with no real problem, while very similar accidents involving 8th gens seems to total them out completely. To be honest, aside from exterior design safety is the only thing that I'm happy about as far as my 7th gen is concerned. Well, that and how comfortable it is to drive long distances in.. that's a huuge plus.

GL ominous, I hope that no matter what you walk away from this with newfound knowledge (whatever that may apply to), and a car that you're 100% happy with. Out of curiousity, what were your payments on that? Because, I'm pretty sure that they'll be close to what they would be if you put that whole insurance check down on an 07 sti limited.

Be safe.

i was too lazy to go through the whole thread, so this might have been posted already.
I was looking throught youtube for SI's and saw your wreck video up on Youtube, haha and you were saying how you cant get the NeckTie out of the car anc stuff.

I feel really bad about the wreck, but i was laughing through that video!

but glad you're ok!

yacoub · 05-19-2007, 03:40 PM

i like the tie hanging out the window in the pics at the scene, but then seeing it still in the car at the scrap yard was kinda wierd.

supaaa · 05-19-2007, 05:31 PM

That is one messed up ride. Next time you feel sleepy, pull over and take a nap!

BLU BY U · 05-19-2007, 05:55 PM

i was in a similair accident at 35mph and had no where near the damage as you have. how fast were you going, 50-60? youre lucky

***HanCivicSI*** · 05-23-2007, 04:55 PM

Chris, how is everything going? Haven't heard from you in a while.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 05-23-2007, 06:41 PM

i was wondering the same thing..havnt seen him on AIM either

victor · 05-23-2007, 06:48 PM

if you still have your fogs ill buy them. and your rear disk brakes = )

***GETxERxDONE*** · 05-23-2007, 06:48 PM

peeps need to read..he cant get any parts unless he buys back the car from insurance.

DetachmentBravo · 05-23-2007, 07:09 PM

Trying to sell of parts is like desecrating a grave. Let that poor engineering marvel lie in everlasting repose.

targettuning · 05-24-2007, 11:06 AM

In repose??? This isn't a fallen Marine simply a smashed car and it will be dismantled by a salvage yard and the remainder after all useable parts are sold will be CRUSHED and recycled into a Craftsman lawn tractor.

***HanCivicSI*** · 05-24-2007, 03:37 PM

It would be nice if people recycled parts more often. I'd rather disgrace my own property by taking the parts than someone else doing it. Believe me, if you don't consider it, the person that lays eyes on it for the first time in the salvage yard will!

Kakashi · 05-24-2007, 03:55 PM

I tell my friends all the time, sometimes its worse driving sleepy than it is to drive drunk.

Either way, careful out there, call for rides when ya need one.

tbeers · 05-25-2007, 11:58 AM

millerman · 05-25-2007, 12:52 PM

Glad you're ok. This does prove one thing --- Civic's are damn safe.

Well I don't know about sleepy, but Mythbusters did prove that talking on your cell phone while driving can be equally, if not more dangerous than driving drunk. (Love that show.)

***ominous8204*** · 06-06-2007, 11:40 PM
