Sending Prayers to vStyler

vStyler (John) totaled his Toyota Prius the other night. He was driving down the road and the engine just quit, no warning at all. He could not steer the car and it went off the road into some trees. His legs and arms are cut and bruised and his head hit the steering wheel, The damn airbags didn't even deploy! :-( 

Sadly, now he cannot even take his wife to work, go grocery shopping, nothing. He has to rely on others to help, so if you wish to help him out a little financially, please PM me. Thanks.

Yeah, I was thinking that too.  A quick Google search suggests that you can sue if your airbags don't deploy in a crash.

Total ignition failure will mostly prevent airbags from deploying.  What's not quite so 'OK' is the inability to steer.  Lack of power assist should simply just make it heavier.  Total inability implies the steering lock engaged...ie the ignition is off and the key is removed.

If the prang is a result of a total failure of the ignition and steering lock then Toyota will need deep pockets..;)

I sure hope you have a speedy recovery. Interestingly enough, overnight I was using the "Frontier" skin. Best wishes, and courage!
