My mother had a close call today!



My baby is the Laguna Green one in the background.

 

:w hat:
HOLY F*!!!!...man i hope shes ok..forget about the car man how is she doing?

 

airbags and seatbelt worked great just some bruised ribs from the seatbelt and her knee from hitting the dash. I think her pride is hurt more than anything, being her first accident 41 years of driving.

 

honestly bro send her my condolenses(?) from my behalf....tell her sorry to hear about her accident and to thank GOD shes ok man....what happened?

 

Thank God shes okay, seems like someone was watching over her

 

I asked her about it she said shes not really 100% sure still kind of shaken up. I do know she hit a pole and 4' grass embankment... and lost!

 

Im just real glad we didnt loose her today. My dad handled it well for just having a major heart attack 2mo ago! Hopefully 2009 is easy-er on my family!

 

Glad to hear your mom isn't too injured. How did it happen?

 

wow man that is crazy! I am so glad to hear your mom is okay! Hope she recovers quickly!!

 

Oh my god did she clip a train? Glad to hear she is alright!

 

holy crap thats a serious accident.

hopefully shes all good

 

Wowzers mother damn son of a cunt monkey shit.

Hope your mother recovers man. Damn thank god our boats are strong!

 

that'll buff right out


seriously tho im glad shes ok, as much as i hate seeing these types of threads it comforts me a bit to know that ive got a pretty good chance of comin out alright in this car

 

damn dude. goodbye tl.

i'm happy your mom is okay. must have been pretty traumatic.

 

omg..... i just shit in my pants lookin at that picture. Imagining if that was my car with me in it. I would've probably broke down or go crazy just from some pot hole you say? Must've been one crazy ass hole. Good thing she alright. for mom

 

WOW. Im glad your mom is OK and i hope she recovers quick. Its nice to know that our cars can take that and us walk away from it. Acura should use these pictures for a safety ad

 

GEEZ, louise......sorry to see her car like that, but glad to hear she was wearing that damm belt...hope she's feelin' real better soon...screw the car..it did it's job and now can be replaced...MOM's are harder to replace...

 

Yeah the passenger side (inside the cabin) doesn't look bad in terms of damage either, though you can't see the floor. Only thing I'm curious on is that it looks like the side airbag didn't deploy? Shouldn't it have since it seems there is some side impact?

Safety is always number one however, glad she walked away from it.

 

Thanks for the thoughts and kind words everyone....

update she went to the hospital to check out the pain she was having from the seatbelt last night but x-rays showed nothing broken...... today she is in alot of pain.... but she was lucky to walk away with no breaks, or cuts or anything....


the floor board on the passenger side is pushed up quite badly almost touching the dash. and you are correct only dash airbags deployed no side airbag deployment.... maybe not equipped on a 99'?

 

if there isnt anyone sitting in the passanger seat it will not deploy due to a safety weight system

 

Thats incredible man, I would hate to be in her shoes. But like they said than goodness she was driving a haus of a car. Hope you have a better year as well. Good luck

 

I'm glad your mother was alright. Thankfully she was in a very safe car.

I hope she recovers quickly. 41 years of driving without an accident is impressive, tell her to let herself off the hook. They're called accidents for a reason.

What might cheer her up is shopping for a new car. Prices are really low right now!

 

man...glad to hear she's ok...hope she recovers quickly
and wow...that must have been some pole...
Two 2g TLs in one household...i like it...
I hope your mom finds a nice replacement...

 

Wow that really sucks. Glad to know your Mom is doing well.

 

shit, damn this is crazy. You better start going to Church or Temple whatever religion you are. So who fault was it ?

 

Glad to hear your mom came out of the accident ok.

but goddamn! that car got tore up!

 

holy motherf*cker thats one bad accident, glad she made it out okay. Tell her to pick up a new SH-AWD 4G TL

 

I'm glad your mom is ok. The car held up very well. The 99 TL didn't have side airbags so that's why it didn't deploy. When she is ready to drive again maybe a 02-03 TL-S or 07-08 TL-S would be a good replacement.

 

luckily shes alive, what did she hit? just shows how safe our cars can be even when their almost 10years old.

+1 for aura

 

glad your mom is ok. only thing i can say is this:

the car you can replace, but your mom you CAN'T. glad she's still alive.

 

glad she is ok...as far as the damage, some turtle wax will that all fixed up and back to new showroom shine per Billy Mays

 

I am glad your mom is ok. I hope she recovers quickly. My prayer go out to your family.

 

Wow I'm speechless, thank god shes ok.

On another note, I thought Honda/Acura driver airbags are pink?

 

man glad your mom is okay, hope she recovers quickly, take care buddy

 

Just goes to show how safe are cars our. That TL is torn right up and your mom walked away with only some bruises. That's incredible hope she has a quick recovery.

 

She was clearly admiring her beauty as shown in picture 4. Everyone does that while driving, duh.

Good for your mom, bad for the TL. But when she gets her 08 TLS, tell her please don't drive while looking at herself. I mean, I know its tempting, but those 08 TLS are nice. She'd rather keep it in the driveway and out of the ditch/massive pot hole and off the pole.

 

glad she is OK you can buy a new car
