As I crossed the intersection, just saw this Black Prius at the corner of my left eye hurtling at 45 MPH, I just braced for it, and it t-boned me. Car was thrown 25 feet and spun 180 degrees. I didn't hear nor see any skid marks from somebody trying to frantically break/stop a car, I guess the other driver was distracted doing something else.

Insurance just called today, said it was likely to be deemed a total loss. I came out ok, almost unscathed except for the whiplash. I do have to say, that FR-S saved me from serious injury, and for that I'm very grateful to Toyota/Subaru.

I'm thinking of getting a second e36 M3 instead, and would probably wait for the MCR (mid-cycle refresh) of the FR-S before buying it again. As much as I love it, could still use a bit more torque and wider wheels as OEM

Glad you're okay! Impressive looking at the car and knowing you only have whiplash. Sucks for the car though, what a shame really!
