Pray for me... Crashed

[Atropine]

Glad you are ok...

As a healthcare worker...

I must warn you.

If you don't feel better...a trip to the ER may be justified.

Just know, if you are uninsured...you may very easily be looking at a $10,000 (or more) medical bill if you do go to the ER.

If they CT Scan your head...it can cost 3-5k. If they check out your C-Spine as well...that is another 3-5k,

Just wanted to warn you about that.

I do not like these truths that I am speaking, but they are indeed accurate.

Good thing you are here to type your story! That's great news in itself, if you can learn something from your crash you're already better off. Good recovery man.

I can't feel anything just almost want to cry but I can't. I just couldnt react fast enough to correct my car. And it did a pendulum thing and swung the other way. I don't deserve my car.

I still remember looking at it every time I locked it with a smile and now its ruined. Please pray for me. Thanks guys and gals.

You'll be fine. I learned my lesson before as well. Spend the money on driver/handling upgrades until you are 90% as good as pro guys then go for more power.

Most people can't handle 100Hp let alone 200hp and more with FI..

Totaled my STI 4 years ago. Most intense thing I've been through. Had a CT scan but came back negative thankfully. My neck is permanent-screwed though but I could have been killed so I guess that's some consolation. Did you have full coverage insurance?

[BlueDubbinTDI]

I would get looked at asap so that way you can still claim it under insurance if it becomes something more serious later on. The car sounds like a write off but in reality its just a machine, it can always be replaced. Hopefully it was stock and I'm glad it wasn't as serious as I thought it was opening this thread. good luck to you!

Man, the twins are really getting owned by the rain this season. I just spun out on an on-ramp 2 days ago too, still waiting to hear whether they can fix it or not.

I know that feel of looking at your beloved twin after a crash and feeling responsible for wrecking such a beautiful machine, but all I can tell you is, the car did its job of keeping you alive, and you gotta see it as a tool that can and will be repaired or replaced. We can't be perfect drivers all the time, and that's why we have insurance. Think positive and take it easy this weekend... this, too, shall pass! Good luck

I drive more n more like a grandpa every time I read something like this...
especially in the rain!

I just seen this thread, I'm really sorry to hear of what happened but I'm glad your ok.

Even small accidents can critically injure a person. You walked away from this one and you can thank your car for that. Your car can be fixed or replaced.

I'm sorry to hear about your 86, accidents happen, don't beat yourself up too much. The most important thing is that you are safe, you should feel grateful

I am someone who works with brain injuries, here are some tips:

Did you ever lose conciousness?

If you are having headaches, vomiting, vision changes, clear drainage from nose or ears, trouble with walking or moving, feeling super tired or sleepy after the accident or slurr speech confusion/disorientation/memory loss (remember to stay with family to check you) go to the ER.

Most important thing is your safety and health.. Cars are replaceable. Get well soon.

Sorry to hear about your accident. As others have voiced, the important thing is you are alive and well. Get checked out and appreciate the the work the Subaru/ Toyota engineers have done.

I know the feeling of losing your car. Hope your head feels better if not go into ER and have the Dr. check it out.

I feel ya buddy. I remember my first wreck...it was when I got dumped on Valentine's Day. Yeah, that really sucked. But it's all behind me now.

As an athletic trainer and physical therapist. Head injuries should screened by an ER or neuro MD no matter what your symptoms are. Brain injuries and potential neck injuries are nothing to take lightly. Please keep us posted. Best regards.

It's all too familiar that feeling of losing your ride, especially for some petty reason. I always tell people how I lost "Alisa" to a couch that was in that fell of a truck in the middle of US-50. This was my baby when I lived in the east coast. I drove her cross country when I moved to Norcal, autox her, and even crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge–Tunnel.


But most important you walked away on your own two feet. Life goes on.


My new car is named "Melissa". Completely different from what I used to drive but for the most part my automotive lifestyle hasn't changed too much.

Being in car crash is a particularly stressful, but it doesn't change the love for the drive. I wish for you the best and a speedy recovery.
