Replace Your Seat Belts

Got hit fri night, hit in the pass fender...totaled the rear, drove her home, but shes not pretty.



was spun by a kid in a sonata..
his car was totaled..

funny, I wear my seatbelt religiously , and it broke... snaps like dry spegetti...

If hit any other angle, rear ended, or if I had t-tops... Id be dead or hurt real bad. hit the roof w/ head/neck, hit drivers door w/ arm and side, bruised bad..and then came down on the back of the drivers seat and busted it up out of the floor board.

drivers side rear fender is buckled from the hit, pinned the spare in the rear.

funny thing is I had the recall number in my pocket that i got off of iroczone.com for seatbelt recall...was going up to dealership the next day...

to late now

I hurt like I had it out w/ mike tyson...and could of easily got killed.


get em replaced or check em out guys...

recall #90043
