Welcome, :)
Now if you can ignore the wwd comments you will be fine.:-D

[Volvorules]

Welcome, I like the new T5 a lot, saw your white 850 at Carlisle too.

Welcome, just don't act like you did in the other thread and you'll be liked.

Word - I like your goals for the car, I'm just heavily opposed to street racing [hence the 1337 reference in the last thread]. I also like the C70 bumpar.

Welcome and have fun learning and contributing here.

I hear ya, i try and keep most of it to the track but since the track is closed, my right foot gets itchy sometimes pat :) And you can't tell me that from the side shot those hoosiers didn't look like radials :-P

Welcome to the board!

Don't remember i was knocked unconscious, but i believe so, also one of the rear deck speakers was laying in the passenger seat when i woke up.... airbag went off so not sure how i hit the windshield, broke my collarbone, 3 ribs, and cracked my sternum

seatbelt?

[mikep]

Probably a 1-2 punch by the Lincoln bumper setting off the airbag, then the frame setting off a second shock as the airbag deflated.

[norcal505]

lol
MORE ROB's!!!
nice t5!
i like those breytons!(?)

[500dollar744ti]

Yo did you hit your head on the windshield?

Welcome to the board!

that's from the airbag deployment.

[mikep]

that's from the airbag deployment.

That was my first thought, too. I see it on the passenger sid a lot, but it's usually a wider "spot" in the center. But I have also seen people get over or around the bag as it is deflating, especially in multiple car crashes. Another reason for a seat belt.

[t5m]

seatbelt?

Yep was wearing my seatbelt, that's what broke my collarbone, ribs and sternum :roll:

[DaytonAE86]

Yep was wearing my seatbelt, that's what broke my collarbone, ribs and sternum :roll:

But kept you from being ejected..........

I'll never for the life of me understand the argument that seatbelts are bad for you. I'll take some broken bones just to not end up a smear on the side of the road.

But, I geuss you could go through that accident WITHOUT a seatbelt and see what happens.

[amargill19?]

the purpose of airbags is to keep you from getting ejected

Welcome to TBricks

-5 respect points for the 'R' on the NA. :nono: :pow:


Just ball-bustin! Love the front spoiler/lip thing. Is that the exexpat method? My wife's 960 needs that treatment.

Welcome aboard!
