Some cops are understanding and cool, others just profile you and nothing you say can't make them change there minds. It's a sad truth....

But hey, I scored your coilovers from the crash, so its all good j/k

give it back, j/k. Im glad u like them.

Speaking of which it didn't help that the cops started automatically profiling me because of the car. The first question they asked me was how fast I took that turn. Which I politely replied I was at a dead stop and then turned when it was green. Oddly enough their attitude changed when they learned I was in the military I think the on scene training officer was like reserves or NG.
I'm sure it also helped with the police that you are a calm, polite, respectful person. It really does go a long way. But yeah, boo to the profiling. If they would just see who the worst drivers typically are (SUVs/huge trucks, minivans, and beaters), they'd leave us alone. They think because we care about our cars, we don't know how to drive when it's actually the other way around...

Jess, although the car is totalled i can feel your pain. The main thing is subarus are still the safest cars in accidents that i have ever seen, and i can attest first hand to this. Just be glad no one was seriously injured, and make sure you schedule a trip to the hospital to get checked up. After the adrenaline dies off, the pain may remain. Good luck, and glad to hear another person walks away from a wreck.

Chris looking at the crumple zone I am very impressed on how the suby took a hit. Just sad I had to find out first hand. If there was passengers on the side that took the hit I would imagine they would have walked away with minimal injuries.

Jess so sorry about your sti. My main concern is you though. Are you okay? Like everyone else stated please see your doctor. If I'm not mistaken, you have 48 hours to report any injuries to your doctor from the time of the incident or else you are not covered per your insurance.
I'm so glad Chris and my sister in-law encouraged me to see my doctor! If I didn't report my injuries on time, my bill would be worth purchasing a car. And to this day(1yr +) my pain to the neck down to my back still comes and goes. So yes do see your doctor. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Take good care of yourself and be safe.

Sorry to hear about your subie and glad you're alright.

I too am impressed that there is such minimal damage for a t-bone hit. This is one of the reasons why Subaru is one of the more safest cars out on the roads now.

In memory of the past, and cheers for the future.
