I have been a lurker on this forum and haven not posted much.

My wife had been driving her TL on I66 two days back when some _asswipe rear ended the 2000 TL and pushed it about 400 feet (failed brakes he says). My daughter had some cuts from the glass but all in all the crumple zones did the job.

Have a look at

Sorry to hear about your TL....Good thing your wife and daughter are fine.....Thank god for crumple zones.

 

Dang! Crumple zones are no joke, I am so glad no one was hurt.

 

Damn. The guy must've been going pretty fast.

 

Damn! No one got seriously hurt? No sore backs / necks during the next few days? Unbelievable!

 

Wow he finished off the whole trunk. Glad that everyone is ok though.

 

Hey man glad to hear ur family is ok.....thank God I assume u will be gettin anoter acura?????

 

Holy shiat, it looks like you got rear ended by a tank!
Good to hear everyone came out ok and it looks like the TL did a good job keeping you guys safe.

 

Glad you all are alright. That idiot who hit you should've pulled over to the emergency lane and gradually downshifted until he got to his lowest gear and drove into a wall, median or something. You all should not have been bothered

Again glad to hear you all are alright, that's what matters! Pretty safe car I'd say.

 

OUCH!!!!!!
Thank god everyone was o.k.

 

WOW! Glad everyone is ok....that looks like one hell of a hit. Its comforting in a way to see these pics to see how well the car can handle an impact of this nature.

 

Don't know what I am going to get. The 2005 TL looks mighty temting though.

Also the van (Chevy Astro) pushed the car about 400 feet saying the brakes had failed...so the Acura did take a good hit. I am glad everyone was ok.

Thanks all for the wishes.

 

Had it been a Grand-Am or a Malibu, the outcome would have been tragic. Same happened to my mother-in-law when her 91 Legend was hit by a van cutting in and out of traffic.

This goes to show that some drivers out there do not use any form of tact in avoiding collisions. As ScottieW stated, he should have hit the wall if he was too fast instead of hitting another car and risking killing somebody. That is what I call an idiot who shouldn't be behind a wheel of a vehicle.

Glad to hear everyone is AOK, best regards to everyone, and look forward to your next 04 TL 6M. (Just suggesting).

 

Damn man, glad everyone was ok.

 

Wow, that is some scary damage. Glad to hear that everyone is ok.

 

glad every one is ok!

 

If only more people realized that crumple zones are what save peoples lives and not being in a truck based SUV the roads would be a hellava lot saver.

Very glad to hear your loved ones are OK.

 

Are you kidding me? Grand-Am and Malibu are very safe. I've seen pictures of COMPLETELY totalled ones, just mangled, yet the occupants walked.

NHTSA's crash test ratings are very simliar to one another.

 

:wow: I'm so glad that no one was hurt. My dad drives around an Astro too...and if me and my dad were to play chicken...he'd run over my TL-S like it was butter. Hope everyones doing ok!

 

Good to hear that every one came out of it in one piece. And look no further than 2004 TL

 

Thank God everyone is ok, and yes, the TL did its job, I'm glad for that too. I hope you can get a new one.

 

Glad Everyone was ok...Looks like that TL is trashed...The new TL is looking tempting ain't it?

 

*speechless* Glad you guys are ok!

 

I am glad to hear this story as it is the best outcome you could have hoped for. You bought your TL for a variety of reasons, and safety has turned out to be the most important one.

So go out and keep your family safe once again by buying the new 04 3rd Generation TL with even more safety features(not to mention all the other great reasons).

 

Holy $hit! I am so glad the crumple zone did its job.

Glad everyone walked away in one piece.

 

Damn thats a BIG hit!!!!

 

wow man hope you guys are ok
