Sad day...

Without a doubt the worst day of my life yesterday. On my way to Import Alliance in Atlanta when someone two cars behind me wasn't paying attention and caused a 6 car accident. I was right in the middle in my RS1.0. Pretty sure it's totaled. Ruined my entire day...

That sucks.

Hopefully you get enough out of the settlement to get a brand new ride. Think, last year of the Scion.

Fckk!!!!! I can't imagine the how you must feel. Front proximity brake sensors must become mandatory for all cars. It is so unfair to go through this just because a guy behind you was texting.

Exactly. I've already started looking and haven't had much luck. Thought about waiting for the new Focus RS to be released. I don't know, though. I'm from a small town and my RS1.0 was even more rare for my area. Nothing will be the same. I'm heartbroken, lol...

You could always upgrade to the RS2.0! But damn, that really sucks. I'd be really upset too if some asshole wasn't paying attention and caused a wreck. :/

I'm guessing that you got pushed up under a truck of some sort?

I always liked the RS 1.0 cars! Sorry to see that but glad you're ok.

Most important thing is you're ok. Cars are replaceable, human beings arent!
