Default Why you should not try to park a lowered neon under an SUV

This is my roommates 05 SRT-4. He rear ended some chick's tahoe on saturday. His airbag didn't even go off and he hit her around 30mph.

This is why I never want a K series motor... fuel injectors in the front of the car just don't seem safe to me.

Their trailer hitch actually gouged out part of it. You can see what's left of his intake, too.

3 air bag sensors, 2 have to be tripped for the airbag.

im gonna agree...floor jack for a tahoe or any SUV seems like the only thing a dodge neon should really be used for.

He's fixing it and he's coming into some money in the next few weeks. I told him to give me his old turbo and intercooler since he wants to upgrade the motor, too.

Another bad part. His timing belt split in half down the center and half of it snapped. One of the cam gears is also broken...
