Another one bites the dust! 😢😢

So the on ramp has a S curve I was at the apex of the last curve doing about 45-50 mph. I then relized there's a semi in the lane I'm going to be in. So I let off the gas....(and I believe I braked all happened so fast). It over steered hit the curb went off road hit a tree on the passanger side spun me around. The car went on its side then feel back down on its wheels 😳😳

Needless to say it's totaled and I'm pretty bumed! But I am Ok not even a scratch!! 😃 thanks to a amazingly built SVX!!

Re: Another one bites the dust! 😢😢

It's true, they are great cars to survive a crash of any kind, and I'm sorry to see that this happened. And it's one of the colors I like. I hate to ask right away, but are you planning on parting it? You can regain a few bucks at least

I hate to see another Laguna 5 speed bite the dust. Wow not a scratch. Glad to hear that. Doesn't look like there was much room for you in the car after that.

Re: Another one bites the dust! 😢😢

Good to know that these are good in crashes, as I am a new driver. Sorry to hear about your car though, must've been scary.

On another note, I didn't know that emojis worked here 😏

Excuse the language here, but holy sh!t! Glad to see you are okay from that one. Rather we lose another car than a fellow member.
