Im ok just bruises and sore all over my body. The air bag deployed and smacked me right on my face and neck. I was making a left turn and the car hit me and the car swung to the right thats why its facing the way it is right now. If you look at the second picture and see the glimpse of the ford explorer thats what hit me....only damage to his suv is passenger front and its not even bad just a new headlight...align the hood, and new fender. Tell me something guys...how fast you think he was going to hit me that hard.....one car was able to stop but he didn't....probably wasn't paying attention.....speed limit is 35 on that road.
thanks sharks....im glad im ok it could have been way worse.....cars probably going to be totaled ....and ya materials can e replaced but lives cant.

Just from looking at the pic u posted I'd say it'll be totaled. Need better pictures
You were making a left turn u said, so did u pull out in front of someone?
Glad you're okay though. Accidents are always a bummer.

Glad ur A OK! Thats a blessing!
That is a wicked lick you took... an explorer totally my 1964 Impala in a corner to corner accident... he drove away and I went to the doctor for the next 9 months... be really cautious and get checked out if you even think anything is wrong... my back has been hurting me since 1989... and it hasn't stopped yet... my dos pesos...

Holy shit! I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. Good luck getting the TL back on the road.

Always sad to see, glad your ok.
I like those wheels, wonder if they'd clear Brembos? How heavy are/were they?
That's a though one on totaled or not, could be if both bags deployed and that nose is pushed over enough, suspension tweaked enough, etc... Might be able to pull it back straight.

Judging by the damage on your car. I would say at least 35. I'm assuming 20s~30s wouldn't do that much damage. 10s~20s is a for sure no. It doesn't matter how fast he/she was going. As long as you get money from insurance, you are safe, and that person might wanna invest some money in driving lessons.

^I didn't even notice the emblems until you said something. They look really good with the wheels.

sorry guys i've been resting a lot lately….the insurance company got me a rental and its a ford focus base model lol….can't wait till i get a new car if they total it….the police report stated that i was making a left turn and i didn't yield which is bs cuz im young and the other guy was older and cops tend to blame the young ones more….
I really don't think its repairable and give me a few hours il have more pictures up
swoosh- thanks man and i was making a left turn right behind another car….dude didn't see us i guess and hit me and my car swung around other guy drove away safe….i really want the type s all black and do something similar but im also getting second thoughts and thinking bout getting a diff car
darksiithcl- wow im sorry….my back is hurting to lower and near th shoulder blade
integra92red- the wheels are not heavy at all they are actually real light and they would clear brembos….only one air bad deployed and that was my driver side one…suspension i had it real stiff so idk and pulling it straight i doubt it theres a lot of damage under the hood.
steven bell- thanks man
tldude876-- monday im going to the doctor just to make sure
hondaonworks- that is true and yes he need to
cjTL- ya painting them gold was a pain ….taking them off and taking of the tape from back and then painting them and applying fresh tape behind them and realigning them back ….was tough at least for me due to the emblems wouldn't come off easily…..i loved how they matched with the wheels perfectly
cltothetl32- thanks man they really did

If my TL were to be totaled out right now and my budget was only the value of the totaled car- I'd be looking into a used E60 5 Series BMW. When I got my car it was a toss up between the TL and that. Most of the Bimmers were trashed though. You could always get another TL too.

the woman could have easily switched lanes or swerve alittle to the side to avoid me but nope. I couldn't see her but sure as hell she saw me.
with that said, its your fault by "law".

I like the IS more than the G when it comes to the interior, but the IS is no match for the G's power.

My word... 
Glad you're ok. Hopefully you won't have any lingering pains and such. As far as your vehicle choices, I've always been fond of the GS 300 styling, the performance is a touch too tepid for me, but it does make for a nice daily driver.
