Now that this has happened - new project
 

Since enough people out there know already, and a few more just found out today.


My car was totaled in an accident a week ago. Luckily there were no serious injuries and no other vehicles involved (aside from getting less than an hour of sleep that night).


I am a firm believer now that [b]Subarus are some of the safest cars on the road.[/b] Any other car would have had a shattered windshield (at the least) and definitely more front-end damage. The way the body absorbed the impact definitely says wonders about the engineering of the car. I am VERY happy the way the car held up.


Now that I've cleared everything up with insurance and bought the car back as salvaged, the guys at Vakamon have started ripping her apart for my new project. For the moment, there will be no parting out of anything.


I'm not going to go into how/why/where it happened, so please don't even ask. But here are the pictures:

It sucks to see the car in that condition, but it will breath again.

And it completely did what it was supposed to do... absorb the impact so the people in it don't.

Subarus rock.

sorry to hear about that i never knew that that happen hope evrything works out with ur new project and that ur ok..... and Ya damn right subarus are safe!!!;)

Gdogg... what time should Brandy call you then? 13 'o clock?? Wait, what??? Between these times but not that time... @_@

Yeah... stupid dents... dibs on the engine bay bolts and bolts for the undercarriage... wait what? :D

Man, it's good to know you're alright, especially after seeing these pictures. I totally agree with you on Subarus being very safe vehicles.

On the upside, this IS a good opportunity to build something rather nice.

Ouch!!!!!

Damn Brandy, Im glad youre okay. Good luck on your project.
