I was exiting the freeway this afternoon and there's a bottle neck. Everyone was coming to a slow stop. As I was gradually slowing down to about 20-30km/h, a Merc B200 whacked into my rear. Car's gone
What an amazing car the Kizashi is.
At that force, the entire cabin was untouched. All doors open and shut as normal. No broken glass. At impact, I still managed to steer the car to avoid hitting the car right in front and left and then pulled over to the side of the freeway. Could have been a 4 car accident.
In the boot: my laptop, work bags, books in boxes and 2 light bulbs (for home) at the place of impact are completely undamaged.
The rear seats folded down as normal to access the boot.
Not sure if whiplash will kick in tomorrow. I didn't feel anything pulled during impact and after. I'm still feeling ok now after 11hours. Fingers crossed.
The driver of the B200 was very apologetic. I didn't kick a fuss. I'm just glad no one was hurt. She has 2 kids and a dog in the car.
Her car caught fire though. It was a bit scary. Emergency services arrived within minutes. Thumbs up to them.
Well... time for a new car. I was feeling very strong about getting a new Prestige Sport, but all these CVT talk is scaring me.
Here's the last pic of my beloved Kizashi before heading off to the yard
