R.I.P. Previa

On the night of March 12th, my girlfriend and I were on our way to a late dinner when we were involved in a collision. All drivers and passengers survived without any major injuries, but the previa...

We have recently replaced the van - tis time it's a wagom('06 Dodge Magnum) which I have been enjoying to my own surprise. Currently, there are no plans to 'VIP' the Magnum. Maybe some minor mods. The 1995 240sx however, still has potential!

Just wanted to take a moment to thank the members who were patient enough to answer the few questions that I posted and those who accepted my occasional input on certain previa topics.

Since VIP is still my favorite automotive still, I will most certainly remain a member and continue to hit up the forums for the latest.

Here are pics of the carnage:

Good to hear no one was seriously injured. My 1st Previa looked similar except ours involved a wooden electrical pole. We hit the pole head on and the previa saved us because the pole didn't go past our feet due to the engine/tranny preventing it from happening. I love previas. :smiley:

Wow! Just glad that no one was seriously injured. May the EGG RIP. What ever happen to the EGG? You ever think about selling parts off her? Or did the insurance claim it as "Totalled" and kept her?

The Magnum has a lot of potential! Check out www.executivekonnexion.com they have 2 sweet looking Magnum there....don't need to sign up to see the pics(just scroll down). Both were featured in Midweek a local paper here in Hawaii.

mdenoga, I have to agree. The Previa did an excellent job of protecting us - especially being a 45mph head-on hit with no braking. There wasn't much interior(dash) damage either.

Sorry to see that, glad you both are ok. It's not a "VIP platform" but a VIP styled S14 can be extremely hot! :cool:
