Cessna lands on top of Toyota Camry on I-95 in Florida

[odanny]

It appears the Camry is a pretty safe car to be driving if a small lane ever lands on top of it.

Isn't that just 'off white?'

Why did they land on a car?

Why did they land on a car?

Loss of power in both engines and I-95 looked like better idea than the trees, homes and other building.

They could have killed quite a few motorists.

It was pitch black and the freeway was well lighted is more reasons.

With no power, it came down slowly. The car is damaged and the plane also but not seriously, it looks like to me.

Yep. Coming down among trees and power lines you cannot see is a bad option. Interstate is much better lit, but with both engines out, you are definitely going down somewhere, and an Interstate, probably the best option, and it worked out.

I'm a proud Camry owner.
They can land on my car and I'll buy 'em a beer.

If I was Toyota, I would totally run with this, and tout the safety of the Camry. I have no doubt those are good cars, even though I've never owned a Toyota. I know about their reliability, it's an industry leader there.

Hyundai driver might be 3 feet tall after that

Just avoid the Gen 3 TT6 Tundra.

Signed a 2.5 Gen 5.7 NAv8 Tundra owner.

Avoid the 8 speed transmission on the Highlanders and Rav4 also.
Shitload of problems with the newer ones.
All that tech from the MPG mandates are bricking vehicles from all companies.
Personally I wouldn't buy anything post Covid right now.

 

[odanny]

I don't like too much tech in new vehicles, it is a real turn off. I really like the Tacoma and was very close to buying one pre-Covid, then the prices went up and supply went down, and they were all sold out.

It's gotten out of hand.

People don't realize the cost of all those sensors and tech after warranty.
Complex twin turbo engines add excess heat, combustion chamber pressure and more moving parts to fail. Blown head gaskets are common. Spark plugs are recommended on some at 40K miles. The new Tundra looks like a nightmare to change those plugs requiring moving a lot of crap to get to 6 lousy plugs. Dealers are charging around a grand for it. The v8 in comparison is a breeze for DIY.

Even what used to be a simple several hundred dollar bumper replacement can now run several thousand dollars because of parking and blind spot monitor systems within the bumper that requires calibration.

All manufacturer's are having a host of software and electronic issues, safety recalls, and complete failures of main bearings which many automotive articles blame the auto start/stop feature.
Lifter failures of many vehicles with cylinder deactivation. I felt that sting with a Jeep I learned to hate.
All this crap has driven the price up by thousands and the higher collision claims drive up insurance rates.
