DANG - sorry to see that .....

I hope you are OK.

Your car looks like they may total it .... depending on engine/suspension damage.

Well, maybe on the brighter side, now you can get that different car you were thinking of ....

Sorry ....

Yep, it sure do seem that way!

I swear, 40% of the drivers are impared or otherwise being distracted by communicating on a cell phone and 50% just aren't payen attention to what the hell their doing. That leaves us 10% to watch out for everyone!....

Back to regular programming ....

We were thinking of getting something bigger or with more doors for DD and hauling people. The sad part is I just noticed my car keys in front of me while typing this message.

+1000000000

If I could recommend a car, check out the new IS350 F-Sport. You'll love it. Although it's not as fun in turns as your current car, it's still a lot of fun.

I think we have accident attracting cars, sorry dude. I feel your pain, not that much, I feel for you though!

Make sure you get yourself checked out if you're hurting! Better safe than sorry.

wow, hope you're ok man!

I gotta admit though after seeing the accident threads that have popped up, i'm pressed by how well the crumple zone is for front-end collisions, really seems to soak up the energy.

Speedy recovery man!

I don't understand... Not sure if I see more threads of wrecks or people owning the car less than a year looking at selling/trading for something "more practical" or "faster"

Interesting observation......

For those folks that traded for those reasons, my question is; since when did the FR-S/BRZ's "back seat" get smaller and/or the engine lost power, after it was taken off the dealership's lot .... ??

Wow! That FR-S is definitely totaled!

I'm glad you are okay OP, that's the most important thing.

Yeshhhh that must have been a pretty rough impact

You're so right.

Fortunately, as Humans, we sometimes change our minds which is totally cool if you can afford to do that.
However, if one finds himself changing his mind too frequently, the cost becomes more than monitary.

My advice to these people is steer clear of Tattooists , Plastic Surgeons and Marriage Celebrants.
