Default On My Way To Work

Got in an accident today (i wasn't driving), kinda sore but i'll live lol. I was searching for my work badge to make sure i have it and i look up and say woooooh and we smoke the rear end of a ricer honda sitting still at a green light. we were rushing for work so we smoked him at like 60kmh, my buddy was driving his 2010 Tacoma. The bumper went about a foot and a half under the honda and grille and rad support was pushed back, we pushed it about a cars length or more? air bags went off in our faces (feels like rug burn lol), some sort of dust and smoke and stink lol. Ended up being an hr late for work, he has to pay (rear end hit) $1000 deductable, insurance gone up and to me it's a write off. But the main thing is, we're alive still (a toyota saved my life lol JK, but seriously it did).

Sorry no pics, wasn't thinking lol.

Glad you're OK Joe! Much as I love my Chevys, the Toyota 4x4 I just sold served me better than any vehicle I've ever owned. Had it since 1988 and it was a used '84 Toyota. In 23 years I put a clutch, clutch master and slave, starter, alternator, and one rear axle bearing in it.
Beat the crap out of it, neglected maintenance, and she still kept on going strong.

Thanks guys, yeah those toyota's are supposed to have a pretty good rating, i heard the best? That thing would beep if it slid, if the seat belts weren't buckled, if the tires were spinning, doors open etc.
