This is where she layed after the hit. The celica held up nicely.

Is my airbag suppose to go off on an impact like this?
I got bumped by a semi on the highway and that sent me into a wall sideways at 60mph. This was on I-70 in colorado. I'm getting another car.
The bad part is that this gray car is mostly my dad's. He was pissed because we put in a new engine 6 months ago. I'm still happy that my white car is still kicking around.

Yeah, bad luck. Both celicas got freagin' hit. The convertible was sold and replaced with a sweet 1990 acura integra.

The white celica was fixed for $350 from my mechanic. And MAACO wanted $1000.00 to fix it. They're out of their everliving minds. I updated pictures in Offtopic of the white car.

I made contact with the wall 4 times spinning. twice on the same corner of the front and twice on the rear end.

Damn man are you ok?
Sad the Celi is gone...from what it looks like in the diagram you didnt really correct the slide. Or it coul dbe you were already close to the wall hard to determine from the pic...

Hope your okay.. Sorry bout your whip..What did the truck driver do?

thoughthard · 08-05-2007, 10:03 PM

Looking for another Celica?

1990 AllTrac. Pricey, but it looks like it is in great shape.

I couldn't correct the slide, the truck did the same thing cops do to spin people around. I cut across three other lanes of traffic. I was in the far right lane.

Ouch, that must have hurt. Losing your car that way.

Hope everything works out for you buddy.

***Knailgun*** · 08-06-2007, 05:53 AM

sorry for your loss, but the celica gave it;s life to save yours.......the airbag should have gone off with the front end, if 2 of the sensors were tripped

Where are the sensors?
