i can't bear knowing that my car will always have frame damage even after the body fixes it. it's just never the same anymore.

Yeah I know what you mean. However, looking at this in a positive light, besides me walking away ok, is that this now gives me an excuse to put some money into the car and start modding it.

Yes there is, which I thought was interesting. The airbag rips open almost the entire side of the seat. The other airbag (I think it's the curtain) is in the upper pannel of the car. Long story short, if your airbags go off...you're gonna have a bad time.

Sorry to see this happened to you, but I'm glad you still have your health.

At least your meme speak is still working.

Damn. I got into an accident about 3 weeks ago and was told 30-45 days for parts. It seems like everyone else is getting parts in fast but me...

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully that's just an estimate and they'll start coming in faster. Hope you're doing ok.

Sucks! Glad you're not injured. Good excuse to throw in some TRD door thingies. Curious to hear how much a new seat costs.

my theory on all these accidents is that the car is so nice looking,that once people start starring at it they get hypnotized and end up causing the incident.
it's kinda like when a deer is on the middle of the road and sees the headlights and just stands there waiting to get smashed by the incoming car.

Hand , eye coordination. You look at it you go there. Very common.

That looks like far more than 7500. hmm...

Just the law of averages in play there. Way more FR-Ss on the road than BRZs based on sales figures (like 2 out of 3) so the odds favor the FR-S. Another lottery I hope not to win.

OP, glad you're OK.
