Monte Carlo meets a rail road underpass!!!

First off, my son and his girl are just fine. Moving at about 20 mph hit a slippery spot on a corner. Steered away from the creek to hit the bridge.



Double air bag deployment.



Of course the passenger airbag took out the windshield.



Any one need any Monte Carlo parts. My son needs the money to buy a new car. This one is off to the junk yard!!

Glad they are ok!

That car was cursed anyways... Time for another.

I'm glad they weren't hurt. I believe airbags can cause more injuries than the actual collision in some cases.

Jon

Glad to hear they are both OK!

Happy everybody is OK and happy that Monte Carlo is going away.I too believe it was out to do your wagon more harm.
Jim Gordon

Glad they are both OK.

Glad all are fine! And glad it wasn't your wagon that got hit again.

tim please pull the front and rear seats along with the console and shifter before you send it off to the boneyard

Wow Tim,I am so used to clicking on a thread to see something else,I wasn't expecting this.

I too am glad they are OK.

Lorne.

Glad they are in good shape.

My friend got in her Kia SPortage one morning, turned the key and the drivers bag deployed in her face. Broke her nose, and some glass cuts from windshield pieces but other wise okay. looked like she went a few rounds.....
Last time she drove the Kia, got a new car after that episode.

I'm surprised that a low-speed collision would do so much damage. I'm glad they're okay.

Good to hear they're ok. Sorry about the Monte.

Oh an I hare air bags too.....

Good luck helping with the new car search. Find him a nice supercharged Grand Prix or Bonneville. My 2-cents! ; )

He want to get a Honda, Toyota, etc.... Small gas mileage getter. I do not blame him.

Tim

Glas their OK Tim. Time to get your son into a B-body

Never, unless I let him drive the Impala.......and the will NEVER happen.

He does not have oil in his veins like his old man!!

He should!

Glad they're alright. Sucks about the car though.

Now driving to the yard on a milk crate!!.. I was going to play with the rear seat to see if I could work the split into the wagon rear. But I hate to destroy them, they are your Pat. LMK what they are worth.

If he wants a Japanese econobox, Honda would be a better pick than a Toyota. Subaru's are good too. Dead reliable too.

But subarus get crappy mileage. (doesn't stop me from wanting one, though! Legacy GT for me please!)

Idk Crovo. 25/31hwy isn't what I'd call bad. That's what my buddy gets from his forester

Daughter legacy gets 27 around town with 175k on the clock. Granted she does not have a lead foot like me.

My daughter gets about 27 mpg around town with her Legacy with 180k on the clock. The drives VERY conservatively, someone in the house has to!!!
