Accidents
This got me thinking today since I was involved in an accident.
Say you've had your TSX for like a week and you get rear ended.
Would you:
a) Drag the person out of their car and beat the living piss out of them. Meanwhile your thinking about how long you've owned the car, the monthly payments and most importantly, your insurance. While you think of each one, you hit harder and harder.
b) Be Mister Nice Guy, and check to see if everybody is alright and that shit. Have the attitude " It's only a car ".
It wasn't be driving and it wasn't an TSX, but this got me thinking.

if i got reared on any brand new car, of course anyone would be unhappy, but of course you gotta stay under composure and see everything out with a cool head, shit happens even tho you don't want it to, but sometimes its things we can't control... let the insurance handle it is the best idea, but i mean anyone would be damn mad because once a car gets bapped, it can never really be the same anymore regardless.

I can answer this from experience, although I did not have a TSX.
I had a 2000 Accord V6 EX Emerald Green/Ivory interior with 18" Racing Hart C2s, Stock OEM Kit, Neuspeed Sport Springs and Tokico Illumina Gas Shocks. A little 16 year old in a 89 Mustang pulled out in front of me and I slammed into his rear end. I got out and I was HEATED but I realized that the most important thing is that everyone is ok. He had a girl in the backseat that had to get stitches on the side of her head, but other than that everyone was ok. I'm actually having a little bit of back and neck problems but i'm getting therapy so I should be ok. Anyways, It's very hard to keep your composure, but seeing someone crying and bleeding makes you forget about the "car" hope that all is well.
After you find out that everyone is ok, that is when the anger builds in. Trust me. But all good things come out of bad ones. I just purchsaed my 2003 Accord V6 6 Speed yesterday. It'll never be the same as my old car, as that one was my first Honda and i'll always remember it, but I 'm sure it can make it's way into my heart (ok, that sounds gay but so what!

The second day i had my TSX, i was parked in a lot and when i returned from lunch i had about a 2" scratch on my back bumper.... I waited 3 hours for the driver of the car beside mine (with a lovely satin silver metallic smuge on its front bumper) to come back... I had my camera in my car, took a few snaps before she got back... And told her she had to repaint my bumper.
A week later, after a few phone calls, i had $400 cash from her in my pocket... Not bad for a 3 hour wait.

Amen! The single-use camera would fit very nicely into one of the cubby/stash compartments! What do you call those?
THE sharpest single-use camera is the Kodak Max HQ. Wally-Mart has them for about US$7.50.

I had my good friend wreck my 1 month old 2000 Integra GSR. We traded cars for one night and he got into an accident while I was on the phone with him. 18.5k dollars later (car was totalled) I got a nice insurance check and we are still friends. Lesson learned though, don't let anyone else drive your car unless its absolutely necessary.

Good idea. Any idea what the shelf-life of a disposable camera is if it's stored in a hot car? (I'd probably keep it in the trunk.) Would the film be ok?
