Default Lost the RX today

Car came out of a side road, glancing blow, rollover. The front airbags did not deploy only the side bags. My mother was driving it today.

Echoing all the sentiments -- glad to hear and truly hope she's fine. Sometimes "things" don't show up until later.

Glad to hear she is ok. Looks like the RX did well in protecting her and took a beating.

Don't know what pic you're referring to, but I would imagine she'd like to retrieve her personal items.

Surprised how well the 4RX took the roll over, hope your mom doesn't have any long term effects which could show up later..

I'm glad your mom is OK. It's a testament to modern day car safety. I've owned classic cars since 1987 and am currently restoring a 1956 Thunderbird. I consider it a beautiful car, but I consider my 2021 RX350 a jewel of engineering and reliability. And it's also not bad to look at.

I often hear at classic car shows how the land yachts of the 50s & 60s would squash the smaller modern cars in an accident. Perhaps the following video will dispel that thinking:

I seem to recall seeing this film a while ago. Interesting.
