Totaled TL

Well after getting inspire tails a custom dual stainless exaust a wood grain steering wheel with perforated leather a brand new paint job and 4 new toyo tires some asshole cuts me off while im going about 95, i swerve to avoid him do a 180 slide across the highway and did a barrel role over the guard rail. luckily i walked away with a few stiches. i was waiting until everything was perfect to take pics, but now ill only be able to post the aftermath, should be up in a few days. just wanted to let you guys know that theres one less 2.5 out there.

Glad to hear that you're okay, but you shouldn't expect too much sympathy if you really were going 95 MPH at the time.

Damn... sorry to hear... at least we know that if we roll the TL we'll only walk off with stitches...

Still... glad you are ok man... you can always buy a new car (TL)... but a limb is hard to come by...

Wood Wheel

Yea unfortunatly the wheel was the only thing between my head and the windshield so theres now a new half inch gash right on the wood but hey lot better then the laceration from a windshield. not only that but usaa already towed the car to new britain and even with the receipt wont give me any extra on the settlement for it. pretty fucked up if you ask me i paid like 400 for it. got it from apsis if you ask them they put the perforated leather on for an extra 50 bucks. wish i could help you guys out good luck with your tl.

I don't know how much time you have spent driving on 95, but it isn't uncommon for the left hand lane to be moving at 90-95mph in some areas. At the same time though, 95 has the worst drivers seemingly. I have driving over huge amounts of New England, and it seems like everyone drives so much better on anyplace other than 95.

Sorry to hear about the loss, but it is good that you seem to be alright for the most part. Best of luck to you.
