part out thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60651

sooooo this past saturday i was headed to a friend's house. was on the highway and traffic in front of me came to a stop. i stopped with it leaving about 2 feet between me and the Honda CRV in front of me. guy in a Jeep Grand Cherokee behind me did not stop, honestly don't know if he even slowed down. he slammed into me and i went right into the CRV.

so aside from a little stiffness in my neck and upper back i came out relatively unscathed. pretty amazing, says a lot about these cars to be able to keep you safe after being sandwiched between an suv and a crossover. but yea, as you can see, i took the brunt of the damage. on tuesday i unsurprisingly learned they declared it a total loss and yea.. gonna miss it.




















so all that being said i got a reasonable payout from geico for the car as well as a little extra from the guy who hit me's insurance. as much as i loved the car i don't think i wanna get it again. i wanna stay sporty but go a little more practical (4 doors, awd). so that brought me to the WRX. put a deposit down on a 2014 ice silver premium. likely gonna be moving over to the NASIOC forums, but it won't be quite the same. i'm gonna miss this place.




so i salvaged what i could from the car. gonna be posting up a FS thread, which i'll link to here. i look back and think about how much i tried to care for the car; parking far away wherever i went, frequent washes and what not and it was all just so pointless because some asshole just took it all away in seconds. another thing that sucks is that my front plate got ripped so i don't think i'll be able to transfer plates. gonna have to get the hideous yellow and black plates :/.

Awww..
Who was found at fault? Damn SUVs being distracted...
If you drive that big of a machine,you better keep your eyes on the road, not doing something like texting. Yet most of them do.


ANYWAYYSSSS.
Glad you had fun on this forum. This forum is a crazy bunch, but a lovable crazy bunch. Sad to see someone go, but you seem to enjoy your new ride. And that's all that matters.

Sorry about the accident! Glad you're ok! What are you going to do about the parts though?

[dem00n]

Grats on the new car though, good to see you're fine.

Why didn't you wait for the new WRX?

[husker741]

Sorry man, that's real shitty.

[Maniak_]

Sorry for your loss =(
Seeing your front end, I was expecting much more damage on the back of that CRV.

Enjoy the WRX!

[BlueDubbinTDI]

There wont be any cars left for this model to make it to "classic" status...

[asianbob]

Wow glad you're okay man. Congrats on the wrx. Sucks that the frs is gone though.

[Whitigir]

The CRV is like a tank...doesnt even budge...

Sorry for your loss

[vividracing]

I know it's mostly not anyone's fault on the forum for getting into accidents, but i think these cars are real targets. Don't wanna see anymore of these cars get hurt. Stay sae everyone.

Enjoy the AWD Turbo. I know I did.

[STV3]
