Bye Bye Tacoma :(

So, a couple of weeks ago I was taking some friends home after celebrating a friends 21st birthday ( I was the designated driver). Right after I dropped the last one off, I looked down at my phone. I looked up to see that I was running straight off of a curve. I overcorrected, and the vehicle rolled several times. My back driver's door hit a pole or a tree or something, and was smashed in to the point it was touching my back seat. Needless to say, my vehicle was totaled. Amazingly, I escaped without injury other than a concussion from my head hitting the window. I was later told that if whatever hit the back door would have hit the driver's door, I would have been killed on impact. I consider myself extremely lucky, and no longer use my phone while driving!

And sorry for the quality of the first 3 pics........ My camera was in my truck when I went to get my stuff out and the lens was fogged up.

 

Glad to see you are ok. Man what a wreck.

 

Nasty crash, Im glad you didnt get hurt any worse than you did. Should be a lesson to others about using that phone while driving. I have to admit that damn phone costs me a crash also.

 

I wanted to get my wheels/tires & screen out of it also..... I planned to buy some cheap rims/tires from another wrecked one and put them on mine, and just put the factory radio back in. However, when I went to get my stuff out of it I forgot the nut driver to take out my radio, and when I went back the next day to get it & my rims, they had moved it and wouldnt tell me where it was.

 

Holy crap bro! Glad you made it out OK though! How much for the in dash stereo? lol

 

God I love our trucks.

 

Wow, what a mess!

Thank god you are ok

 

Man glad to hear you are OK, sorry about your ride.

 

I paid like $415 for it (ebay)...... I think the retail for it is like $5 something though

 

yo, that truck is FUCKED up!!

We're all glad that you walked away, that's the most important thing.

Hope you heal up alright.

 

why didn't the airbags deployed??

 

Front bumper is more or less untouched. Side curtains might have been cut out/off.

 

dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thats insane!!!

Glad you are OK!!!!!

 

I hate right guard spray!

 

glad your ok dude, my wife drove mine one night and fell asleep and went off a 20 bluff into a creek. 97 tacoma totaled out for sure. she spent some time in the hospital though. tacomas are safe and tough

 

Glad you're alright, but I must say that I kinda like the foggy images. Gives it an ominous feel.

 

Holy Crap, that must of run your bell a little. Glad that you were able to walk away.

 

that was what pushed me to get an 09 a little sooner than i planned

 

Holy crap, glad nothing worse than bumping your head. On the other side I am always impressed with how well they hold up overall.

 

Glad your alright the truck is replaceable. Are the Doritos totaled too?
