IowaFoSho Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 This evening my teenager was involved in a major accident. He walked away without a scratch due to the safety features of his Focus. The car was totaled. Not only was he saved by the air bags, but the front end of the car crumpled up like tissue paper adding more cushion to the impact. Thank you, Ford, for protecting my family.

mjhpadi Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Glad that he is OK and unhurt! My son had a minor accident in our old 98 Taurus wagon, and the same result, neither he or the 2 friends with him were injured. So I think the safety issue goes back. BTW, my son's best friend just bought a 13 Focus that we helped steer him to, and it's nice to here that not only is it a nice car but a safe one. Again, glad that your son is OK.

bpd1151 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Oh wow! Good to hear. I've handled my fair share of collisions, accident investigations, and reconstructions in my time..... It's always difficult being the bearer of bad news, so it's nice to hear a good story like this. Thanks for sharing and thanks to the Engineers @ FMC :hail: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombshellSteph Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 That's the best outcome you can hope for. Very glad he is okay and it's nice to know all the safety ratings they boast about on their vehicles isn't just some lip service to get sales. Kudos to Ford and hope everything goes okay with what's to come in the wake of the accident. Claims and new car searching is always a pain.

bpd1151 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Upgrade that Focus to an ST and get it over to LMS for some tuning :wink: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaFoSho Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 This one is me hydroplaning 360's into oncoming traffic after a deluge of water in 2009. I walked away with a concussion and a few bruised ribs. I gave this pony a five star safety rating. [ATTACH]1299[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Difficult enough worrying about your kids when they start driving. Glad for the positive outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
