    Wow, look at this Corolla getting rear ended at speed, you guys should have got checked out after something like that, headaches and neck aches could have meant more serious injuries!

    This is the only video I could find that simulates anything in the rear for the 9th gen

    holy cow, this was all that happened to mine. The coins in my little drawer went all the way into the backseat along with my monster energy though :/

    UPDATE - Truck has been fixed and I should get it back today. I will post pictures of the repaired Tacoma and any experiences that I have due to the collision. It may get traded in on a new one if I just can't get over the OCD of having a truck that has been wrecked. It sounds like based on my discussion with the shop, mainly all cosmetic and no frame damage, no suspension damage etc. So they used all factory parts and put her back together again. We shall see....

    Glad to hear that your daughter was okay from the accident and now your Taco is okay too! I'm like you, I'd question every squeak and rattle after the repair even if I knew they were there before the repair. Hope you find that the Taco love is stronger than the doubt.

    some of this, a little of that
    We were stopped at a red light and a guy doing 45 in a Ranger never touched the brakes, rear doors opened and closed just fine, so impressed with the corolla we bought another one to replace it

    I agree. It drives perfect. That’s all I could ask for.

    Witnesses say about 4 or 5. I was run off the road by a 15 year old hit-and-run driver @ 70mph. He was caught a few miles up the road...

    Glad everyone/family members are ok after seeing the posts in this thread. I hate watching crash test videos, they are horrifying. I have a baby on the way, and seeing a stopped car get hit from behind at speed is jaw dropping. Imagine if there was a car seat back there? I was in a relatively major accident once (t-boned some moron who turned in front of me) and it's left quite an impression on me.
