T-Bone car accidents

I heard that EG hatches are horrible when it comes to T-Bone accidents because our body frame is like a Y or something. Has anybody been in one of these accidents?

Most any 1992-1995 Honda will be less than ideal in a T-bone situation.

Umm...we have a unibody frame....there is no Y frame or whatever you are talking about. Being T-Boned probobally isnt enjoyable reguardless of what car you are in, but being in a 2000 lb car probobally can't help any.

while were on the subject, i thought i'd share this... found it yesterday: http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/bad/

this page gave me even more inspiration to slow down on the street: some these pictures don't even resemble cars anymore, and can be a little disturbing - no blood or anything though.

Re: (civicnightmare)

Pretty much any accident in a Honda sucks. I was talking to a guy that has a Landcruiser, and once he backed up into a Civic, RAPING the hood and the front end. He had a few scratches on the bumper.

Sweet, I have a VFR as well. Yeah, I'm afraid of riding sometimes. People dont see you and these damn luxury cars that are soundproofed so well cant hear you beeping at them.

What's funny about that is the exhaust is still in mint condition. ...even the exhaust hooks; Straight and shiny.
