Totaled out. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi guys,

Well, my 2013 Hot Lava FR-S is no more. Fortunately I walked away without a scratch. It was however, an eye opener.

I am still evaluating what I want to do with regard to a replacement and while this was the most fun car I've ever had, I do have to honestly say I was never really happy with the power. Prior to this car I was a long time STI owner.

Right now I think I'm just going to get things sorted and relax for awhile.

Overall though I feel VERY lucky and the car did it's job very well in protecting me. I'm sure going to miss it.

-Jim

Can't ask for more than no serious injuries from an accident. Maybe, get a box with 4 wheels for now and save up for the highly speculated turbo 86!

My guess is that it saw the wrong side of a hedge as the Brits like to say.

No pics, no story. You can't do that...such suspense is unbearable.

Just lock the thread now...this ain't OP's Facebook - we want pics and a story, not his blurb about how his day is going.

I agree!!!

If crash was due to speed not sure if a faster car would be a better decision..
