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 :/.

damn.

these cars just die in droves.

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. :)

That Sucks....Enjoy the Wrx!

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

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

Why didn't you wait for the new WRX?

Sorry man, that's real shitty.

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

Enjoy the WRX!

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

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

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

Sorry for your loss

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.

Damn. Your car got real Mezdup...... Sorry I had to lol

Glad to see your ok and everything went fairly smoothly though. Enjoy boost my friend its addicting.

you can request white and blue plates from the nys dmv. glad you survived :cheers:

That sucks. At least you weren't having sex with a beautiful woman which ended up being a man. I guess we're both having lousy weeks.

parts for sale: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...56#post1597756
preferably local but i can ship some of the smaller things

needed a car asap as i only have til mid next week with the rental. plus i kinda like the look of the current WRX over the new one and was able to work out a pretty great deal. and lastly the new one's a grand more and i'm already having to put up more money than i initially wanted to for a new car.

the jeep took 100% liability thankfully

In fairness the jeep did manage to hit a stopped car...people don't pay attention, thank god you don't ride a motorcycle.

The car did its job...it took a bullet for you so I'd like to think that its little boxer soul gets to go to the big slalom in the sky, even if its twisted metal body has to stay here on terra firma.

Glad you're okay, hope you like the new wheels.

On another note it's real easy to see why the fent bumper beam is so important.

Glad to hear you are okay. Can't go wrong with a Ice Silver WRX :)

I am really loving mine.

It dissipates the force around the vehicle rather than through it (i.e. engine into passenger compartment)? Is that what I'm seeing?

Bummer. If that happens to me, I'm getting a Lotus Elise or a Porsche 964, so I don't knock you for moving to the WRX (other than you not going for the hatch back ;)).

people need to stop making me want a wrx...

We are just bring to light that you wanted a WRX and the BRZ at the same time. Your wallet is what is telling you that you cant have both.

pm'd on things not listed. Not sure if your insurance already took the car or not. Glad your alright.

didn't get any pm and insurance did already take the car. everything i still have is up for sale here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60651

Sorry to hear about you accident. Glad to hear you're ok. Hope you are happy with your new car.

Fuckin jeep driver man.

I'm sorry to hear too but it's good that you came out in one piece. It's disappointing that people are more and more distracted when driving these days. Enjoy the WRX! They seem like a really fun car to drive and are already boosted.

HAYYYYY

general question. would you guys say that subaru's ice silver color is comparable to the frs 10 series silver ignition color?

Not really but I actually like the Subaru ice silver much more than the ignition silver of the scion.

Scion is too flat and gray for my taste.

Ice is silver, ignition is "gray"

remove your taillights and pass them to me for free before they scrap the car :P
+ the shark fin antenna too please

the valenti's were cracked :(. and the shark fin i honestly just forgot. sucks. my friend and i were taking the parts out at night in nearly complete darkness. all we had was flashlights lol. cars gone now though.

Seeing all the mods and time you put in your car suddenly gone makes me sad man. Hope you're ok. And sucks that those valenti lights didn't make it either. I would've wanted those :(

Glad you're alright, looks like a nasty impact. Really sorry for your loss. It's hard to imagine putting so much time and effort into something you love, just to have someone carelessly destroy it. :(

Awesome that you found the WRX though, sounds like you'll have a great time with it. Take care!

Damn... These cars sure crumble easily (in a good way for absorbing impacts) We're just glad you walked out of there unharmed. Good luck and take care.
