My suby saved my life
I was driving about 40 mph down the street. At the stop light in front of me there is a truck in the turn lane facing me. The light turns yellow, just enough time to get acrossed. The truck must of thought I was gunna stop cuz he started to turn. He saw that I wasn't stoping and hit the brakes right in front of me about 20 ft. Outta instinct I turned hard right towards a pole then hard left. I drifted around the truck like wow. If I was in any other car I probably would of hit that pole. I love my suby!
Any one else have any crazy stories where your suby saved your life?

Well we were rear ended by a ford f150 in my wife's forester, the ford was going about 45-50mph and we were completely stopped, and the trucks front end never made it to my daughters car seat because of the cargo space... If we would've been in my RS it probabaly wouldve been a different story...

I've been in two totaled WRX's and came out with only bruises. No hospital trips, no permanent damage. Don't screw around when I'm sitting shotgun, I'm a bad luck charm haha!

I've had many times where I've swerved out of the way of people pullin out of parking spots, bad lane changes etc, or braked in time to not rear end someone...but that's partially cuz of my upgrades I made to suspension/brakes and having star specs haha
