Dear Ecomodders,

This is my formal resignation from the site.

I totaled my new Honda Insight this evening. I was in the far left lane, a lady cut me off from the center lane causing me to instinctively turn the steering wheel to move further away to avoid contact while pressing the horn. As soon as I turned the wheel slightly, the hail and rain caused the car to go sideways, at 65 MPH. The car in front of me saw stopped cars ahead and quickly got into the center lane to avoid running into them last second. I corrected the car back to straight and ran into the SUV in front of me at about 55 MPH. After the accident, they told me they were doing about 15 MPH.

My thumb was broken backwards from the force of the airbag, my nostril was torn on the inside, my neck and back are having severe pain and I lost all feeling in my foot.

Had I been in the Passat still, with no airbags, I'd likely be dead. Thank you Honda for keeping me safe. Thank you Ecomodders for the awesome time here on the site.

In case anyone was wondering, I have driven the Insight about 8K miles since I bought it last month. It has been an awesome experience and I am happy to report that the other day I was able to get my best trip record with 89.2 MPG US over the course of 115 miles.

I have many parts available from the vehicle. Steering wheel back is all good. If you need any parts, LET ME KNOW! I will continue to check this site for a few more weeks.

Daniel
