So, early this morning (3:45am) I was driving and lost control of my car on this wet back road. I hit the median and here are the results........


This cuts deep because I worked so hard to save up to buy this car but like the title states I'm blessed.

 

If you are safe the car did its job... I hope you have insurance.

 

glad to hear you are ok. take it as a lesson learned.

 

how fast were you going?

were your tries good?

 

Glad your ok! I'm from MA too!

 

Heavy RL- It sure did and very thankful to be able to walk away. I do put the claim in already.

ggesq- thanks and definitely!!

terpnation- Honestly not fast at all, the road has a nice curve plus it pools when it rains. Tires were still good.

BCH- Thanks, which part?

 

glad you are ok, seem like all of the safety equipment did a great job.

 

it sure did

 

Another comment about being okay

I really am glad you're okay though, sorry to see this happen to you.

In a way this makes me happy because it really shows that this car does it's job in the event of an accident and I'm happy to be driving a TL, really makes you feel safe.

I'm sorry to see your car go and as many people say, buy another if you can but I'm sure most people don't. If you truly loved your TL I'd say upgrade to a Type-S

 

Glad to hear you're OK.

I hate driving in rain ... I'll take snow any day.

 

thank god u walk away from this.

 

Wow, that was a pretty serious crash. So glad that you are OK!

 

Undying- Its all good no your joking lol. this vehicle def did its job and kept me alive. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. I have to see what the insurance company is going to do. If they total it out I gotta see how much they'll cut.

Monkeytrucker- Yea i'm not fan myself.

 

Im glad you're ok! Hopefully your insurance company wont give you a run around.

 

man, that crash looks scary. I'm glad the car protected you. Cars can be bought, lives can't. Glad you are ok.

 

Glad to know you're fine. Life is very precious. Always spend the most money on good food and good tires.

 

Crazy...but yea good thing you are OK. I hate driving in the rain, or any inclement weather for that matter, hence why I live in Los Angeles lol

Are you going to get another TL?

 

Oh, there's no question that it's totaled. Your engine is twisted 20-30 degrees. Glad you're ok.

 

That's what I was about to say.

Glad to hear your ok OP makes me feel safer in my TL.

As he said your engine is twisted the frame is probably buckled beyond repair sadly.

 

Glad you're ok OP. Car can be replaced.

 

glad you're ok, how were your tires? I think I'll get a new set for the TL next year. Tread looks ok but they are old and are pretty hard so no grip when wet.



dude, I'll take rain over driving in LA.

 

glad you're okay OP. I've always been of the opinion that stuff, no matter how much loved it is, can always be replaced. people are the only exhaustible thing in our lives... again, glad you're walking away from this one.

 

glad you're ok. Im happy to see that the TL did its job.

 

But when it does rain in LA/SoCal it's like carmageddon. no one knows how to handle it. I have a screenshot of my Garmin GPS on the first day of rain in SD and there were 5 accidents on the fwy within a 10 mile radius.

I personally love driving in the rain, except when dumb people cause accidents. 405N i saw a FJ cruiser of all things spin out because he was driving 70+ on what I'd imagine was a flooded HOV lane.

OP, glad you're OK and hope you stick with the Honda/Acura as a proven safe brand!

 

Wow, sorry to see the TL in that condition but I'm glad you're alright

 

Glad you're ok.





How much for your seats and door panels?

 

It's ok bro. TLs are a dime a dozen, life is not.

Time to upgrade to a type-S!!

 

haha yes this is unfortunately all too true. When it rains there are accidents everywhere. People here are horrible at driving in the rain, most are just horrible drivers period...but I digress. Nothing I can do about other people, I just focus on avoiding them.

 

Holy shit, you shifted the engine.. The cradle has to have taken some serious damage.

 

First off I'd like to say I'm glad to hear you walked away from this, and I hope you really are in good shape after this.
Been looking at a Acura TL for a while now, and just seeing how much damage was done (like 04WDPSeDaN said the engine got shifted), and hearing that you're okay, makes me confident in getting one!

 

Sorry to see that..
Glad you are ok
What road did it happen on?
Sell the good parts, seats headlights blah blah...
Let me know if you need help

 

Glad you were able to walk away. Big ups to the Acura engineers and designers. Nice to know I drive a really safe vehicle.

 

I think you have a broken engine mount.

 

Count your blessings

 

AnthraciteAspec- I hear you but those smooth roads must be a dream to drive on.

anx1300c- idk, I'm just waiting on my insurer to hear what the verdict is. I thinks gonna be totaled out because of all the air bags that were deployed.

UA6- I re-read my post and got it, hahaha.

PhilB81- The tires weren't too bad but they were getting old, so I guess not good enough.

phreakv- Your absoluty right and I feel the same way, thanks.

M.I.N.O.- Dam straight man, i'm truly lucky, thanks.

04WDPSeDaN- Yea when I popped the hood the next morning, I was surprised too. Plus the engine is touching the ground. Yea man you won't regret buying one.

perilousp- Yea man you won't regret buying one.

MEKO- Thanks, it happened on commercial street in Malden. I took off the aspec front lip and rear bumper, dual blinking turn signals, the engine bay covers, trunk mud guard lining thingy lol, all the interior lights, the side markers, and isimple ipod connect (but not the wire to the radio). Everything was replace with the factory items. I waiting to hear my my insurer then I'll proceed from there. What part of the bean you from?

imakeholesinu- Hell yeah man, some of the finest Japanese engineering can found in that car.

I hate cars- Idk but it just hurts my eyes seeing my baby in that condition.

 

It looks like totaled
take everything..shift knob too lol

I am kind of everywhere...
I go to Wentworth, Civil engineer
Right now at Westford up in north doing intern
Live in Woburn
Live in Fenway or Boston during weekend
at Waymouth, during the day on Saturday (last week and this week) dealing with cars

Lol I would but, the insurance company said take whatever I put on but all the stock pieces must then be put back on.

I see your a rolling stone man, but thats cool. Keep doing your thing.

 

Happy to see the TL do it's job, protect passengers. Glad you're ok.
