Glad to hear that you're not hurt too much. From my 'former life' investigating collisions I can tell from the amount of crush that there was a lot of delta-V (change in velocity) involved. In other words, the TL did an excellent job absorbing those sudden speed changes so you could walk away!

This is scary because your car looks exactly like mine...NBP, F14's, the works. Scary, man. Glad you walked away from it. What's next? (Sorry if that's already been asked.)

^Yeah I noticed that too. I went ahead an assumed it was the tint that held it together. You can easily tell it's off track (that was one of the things that caught my attention as well).

Thanks everyone, almost back to myself, first day back at the office. So far so good minor headaches, and dizziness but all in all I'm here
haha I was very impressed that the glass did not break anywhere on the car! The only glass that "CRACKED" was the front wind shield from the passenger air bag going off!
Otherwise even my driver door glass was fine! The left rear passenger glass is off the track but in one piece, I even pulled it out at the salvage yard haha strong stuff!
Ok so I cannot find the black market for the life of me? I want to post up some parts that other users haven’t asked about yet... such as this:

Glad to see that you are okay. As a fellow NBP owner, it pains me to see those pictures, but it is a testament to the amount of engineering and safety that went into the design of the 3G.

Glad to see that you're okay.
One thing I have noticed in all the threads where 3G TLs were involved, that the vehicle stood up very well. I saw another thread where a guy got rear-ended at 60mph, and the rear passenger section was not crumpled the least bit.
Puts my mind at ease, somewhat, knowing that my 4 month old son is in a safe(r) vehicle.

Wow...I just saw this and hopefully you're feeling better since the accident. It's a blessing you're still alive.My mom got hit by an 84 Olds Mobile and it totaled her Honda Accord. Old cars are really built tough. Speedy recovery my friend.

Wow, glad you're ok. Looking at the pictures, I would have figured a 50-50 chance of survival, side impacts are the worst. I was passenger in a friends car in a parking lot when some chick backed up into my door. I was completely unaware until the impact and it's amazing how bad 3-5mph can hurt when you're not ready for it. I can't imagine 50+mph. The car did an excellent job but a few feet toward the front of the car, you would have experienced much more trauma. I've always been afraid of this happening so I scan the intersection as best as I can in both directions. You can't get a whole lot of scanning done at 45+mph but every little bit helps.
I'm far from sue happy but anything you can do to make these peoples' life harder you should do. Hopefully Texas is harder on criminals than CA. If it were here it would be a fine and a slap on the wrist and they would be back out on the streets in a couple days. It pisses me off that people like this are even out there and that they can take a life or a really nice car. They have no future, nothing to lose, and don't care about people who work hard for their stuff.
All that really matters is you survived. Make sure to go to the doctor for any little problem. I've had friends with minor soreness after a wreck that ended up being a major problem down the road. One girl I knew in highschool got in a wreck on the weekend and died in the middle of class on Tuesday from internal injuries. Looking back on it, there were warning signs. Very minor signs but they were there such as headaches and light headedness. I hate the doctor and hospitals but after a traumatic experience like that you are better off playing it safe.
This reminds me of an event that happened a little over a week ago. Traffic was backed up on the way to work, they had a heavily traveled road shut down from 3am to 9am from a single car accident. My friend in the CHP told me when they have a road shut down that long in a serious accident it's usually a fatality and they're usually looking for bodyparts. The news reported it as a "high rate of speed". My friend in the loacal PD told me it was an EVO traveling at an estimated speed of 140mph. He hit a tree at that speed and destroyed the tree. The EVO was in 3 major pieces. The worst part is they found the driver's heart 130 yards from the wreck.
That section of road has sprinklers that water the center divider and water runs across the road. When I was growing up we used to take our cars down that section of the road, before they were seriously fast so we could spin the tires at 65mph and go sideways but I never considered doing what this idiot did. To make it worse, he was in a local "street racing" club and portrayed the typical thug mentality and look. The media loves stuff like that. I'm just glad a tree was the only other casualty.

Glad to hear that you're not hurt too much. From my 'former life' investigating collisions I can tell from the amount of crush that there was a lot of delta-V (change in velocity) involved. In other words, the TL did an excellent job absorbing those sudden speed changes so you could walk away!

There is a message box on the forum, if you have a "FEW" questions "ILEGAL" use that... posting your number on a forum first time post, seems legit...
