So Tacoma's really ARE indestructable

Well, i didnt know where else to post this thread, so i decided on 2nd gen tacomas, cause well, its about a 2nd gen tacoma

Becareful with the viewing of this thread, as it might be painful for some to see!

So heres the story before the pictures:

I was traveling down the road in the right hand lane, getting ready to make a right hand turn onto the upcoming street which was approx. 150yrds away, traveling around 40-45mph. The two lanes to my left were completely stopped and backed-up due to the red light at the intersection. Then all of a sudden this guy, who was traveling on the same road going the opposite direction, decided to make a left hand turn, cutting inbetween the stopped cars to enter a bank parking lot, but little did he know, i was right there!

Beware, these pictures some might find scary or painful Just know that fortunately nobody was injured in the crash...but his little corolla was totalled though!

Here is the inital damage to my truck:


a closer view:


a different angle of my bent-up IFS:


and his car: (Looking at the picture now, i now notice a dent of where my tire tried to run over his car..lol!)


My baby on the back of the tow truck:


Heading to the body shop:


Seeing the damages to his car, compared to was is seen of mine, id say that tacomas are pretty close to INDESTRUCTABLE..haha but not really haha..but now im stuck driving around a purple yaris! they couldnt give me a better rental!! gah!! FOR 3 WEEKS!! I WANT MY TRUCK BACK!

 

Glad your ok. But it do hurt to look at the pictures. Beautiful truck. Any idea the cost of the damage?

 

purple yaris hahhahaha thats sucks...i would rather walk

 

bummer! glad to hear everyone was ok. hope you get your taco back up and running soon.

 

no, progressive (the other guys insurance) isnt even going to appraise the damages until monday, ill find out then and post it on here..

yea me too, but my job is like 25 miles away...i guess i gotta gay it out till then...i told my gf to let me borrow her britney spears cds so that i can fit the part of driving a yaris!

 

That sucks all around. I'm glad you're OK, and you have a nice looking truck and wheels. I hope all is fixed like new.

I don't think Britney is the way you should go. I think NSYNC would be better.

 

Thanks!

NYSYNC would fit the part better, however that means i would have to spend money to have the cd, and they arent worth my money..lol

 

it looks like you have suspension damage. If you do I would make the insurance company total it out so you can get a new one. I would not like the idea of driving a car with a repaired frame.

 

If it's totalled, can you get all the aftermarket parts back? I heard of people not able to get the aftermarket parts and other mods back. That would suck seeing how you got some nice stuff on that truck.

 

Good luck man Keep on top the the body shop guys and look to make sure they dont take short cuts.

 

yea dude that sucks. sorry to here about ur taco. these next three weeks for u are gonna be hell not gonna lie. your gonna see how much more power that taco has after you get used to driving this yaris. haha

 

Sorry to hear about your truck, but glad everyone is ok. Hope the 3 weeks goes by quick so you can get back to your baby.

 

Purple Yaris, no way, I would get back on the phone with there ins. company & demand a truck, tell them that you need it & a car just won't do.

 

ppl can't drive for shit down here eh?

 

Well look on the bright side, you driving a yaris would save you gas money means more money freed up for mod.. oh wait.. rape the insurance company for even more money and get better mods........

 

eeeewww gross!!!

 

glad everyone is OK

 

that fog light looks like a dead body's eyeball fell out

 

my friend totaled out a car that had all kinds of bolt ons added to it and the wrecker yard let us come up there and take everything as long as we replaced it with something like we took the black 18s off and put 4 15'' doughnuts on it so depending on what they say you may still be able to get everything off if you have something to replace it with

 

Damn that sucks! Good lookin truck til that happened! Hopefully its just suspension and body damage and it didnt reach the frame.
