Wannabe's '92 Tercel is totaled!

[ElectroGhandi]

So since Wannabe cannot log onto StandardShift very much anymore, so she wanted me to make a Tercel death thread for her. She slid on black ice while going around a turn, hit the guardrail, and ended up in the ditch/median.

I expected this would happen based on her facebook statuses. I was expecting it to take longer though.

Good to know she's good.

Lots of snow up there though! We've only had a dusting here today. That was the first snow I have seen this year.

[FDSpirit]

Yeah, I'm glad she made it out okay.

At first I was like "Another bullshit ElectroGhandi thread..."
And then I was like "That rust spot looks familiar... "

[Tups]

All-weather tires?

[theholycow]

Is she ok? You didn't actually say that.

[ElectroGhandi]

She didn't really say. Obviously she's not dead, and I'm assuming minor injuries.

[camera_man]

Glad to hear that she's okay. That's really all that matters.

[AHTOXA]

Is she ok? You didn't actually say that.

Yeah, she texted me said she was fine.

[Warner]

Dang, that sucks.

[1974Alfa5spd]

Apparently it didn't have airbags.
Next time, we peer pressure her into getting a car that has airbags at least...

[ElectroGhandi]

She's thinking about getting a '93 Rodeo, which I will tell you does not have airbags.

She's actually probably getting a relatives 5-speed Escort which has airbags.

[ElectroGhandi]

Aw, I was looking forward to having another Standardshifter with a Rodeo. But I've always recommended Escorts to people looking for a cheap compact car, so good choice!
