Nope, airbags didnt come out and i got hit in the front fender and hit a tree by the front.... im surprised the airbags didnt come out. I hit a car from behind before going lyke 45 and he was coming out of a little street with his lights off so i rammed him in the back and he fled the scene, airbags didnt come out neither, i got bumped in the forhead good with the roof.... whats going on here? This is a lease, now i have to fix it and see if i can turn it in for something else... maybe IS350? RED, no black!!!!!!

Cool

Eh, well what can you say? The air bags didn't come out because the accellerometers didn't measure enough to trip them. You can't argue with solid state electronics.

Glad you're aight.

Cool

The best vids were the F150 platform ones. Where any form of offset frontal impact would collapse the A-pillar into your head. Happened to an aq]uaintance of mine.



btw our historically pillarless windows just do phenominally in side impacts =D
