Holy Shiet. Mine isn't that bad... maybe the airbags are a recall waiting to happen, but tbh if they don't go off for that bad off an accident, i wouldn't really see them saving lives so, i guess an aftermarket steering wheel isn't exactly a bad idea?

 

i hate snow. sorry bout your wreck bro.

 

LoL it's all good.
I'm alive
I'm getting the accolade kit
I'm never taking the RA out in winter. EVER.

so i mean it could have been worse. I could be dead, car totaled. but all i did was wreck the bumper and driver's side fender so... actually i'm kinda excited, i was hoping to make it a sleeper then pimp out the interior/exterior... but Nature decided otherwise.

 

Airbags are not supposed to go off in rollovers unless you have side curtain airbags.

How are people rolling over the RAs??? I can think of 3 rollovers off the top of my head, and I'm sure there's more.

 

ya front airbags are set to go off with a certain level of deceleration. i think its from directly in front or 15 degrees to each side...if i remember my restraints course correctly.

 

Yes all the serious RA wrecks I've seen are rollovers. Maybe it's because they go in a ditch ? I don't know.... But seems like people are surviving them.

 

holy crap those pics are amazing, glad you are ok

 

i'll get pics of the car tomorrow and you'll see what i'm dealing with.

 

Damn oldjames, that breaks my heart. Thats hard to look at.

 

...didn't roll her, hit three trees off of an icy turn

 

since that car is totaled i will buy rims tires and brakes if you cut me a deal my rims got curb bashed from a lady mergin in and i advoided her, and brakes i need from high speed stoping =P if they are any good that is b/c car looks new well not anymore did look nice at a point but just reviewed them again and i can take 2 tims other 2 look messed up.

 

insurance company already took the car, if i have the chance to buy the pile from the salvage yard i'll see what i can grab

 

Ouch! I haven't seen a wreck that bad since my senior prom! Glad your ok oldjames, but you must be sore as ****! I didn't move for 3 days after mine. So did the trees shear the back of the roof or was that the jaws? In regard to how to roll a RA, just get into a turn a little too fast (okay alot too fast) and forget the active brakes will save your butt! I almost flipped it giving a friend a Mr. Toads wild test ride. I thought the Ralliart suspension should make it handle like my DSM did... Nope, the RA's center of gravity is a wee bit higher than a 92 Laser RS. I'm just glad the brakes worked as advertised. Pulled the back end back in line with the front at least.

I still can't get over the roof being that torn up oldjames.... You sure Spiderman didn't yank you out the car at the last second?
