Totaled
I was driving my girlfriend home yesterday when a toyota truck crossed the centerline and slammed into us head on. I was released from the hospital last night and my girlfriend is still in there. The police report said that two of my wheels were already on the shoulder when he hit me so he crossed completely into my lane. My poor subie is totaled. I will definitely find another one if I can. I completely attribute the fact that I was able to walk away from the accident to my SVX. I'm the only person involved up andwalking.

Re: Totaled
Glad to see you are okay! It might be worth keeping and using parts off the wrecked one.

Re: Totaled
Wow, that was quite a lick. Glad y'all weren't seriously hurt. Good luck with your search for a replacement.
From time to time I've wondered how a sunroof affects the integrity of the roof. Interesting to see where the roof structure gave away. Somebody mentioned remembering to buckle the lap belt in cars with "automatic" shoulder belts. I have to remind almost every passenger in my cars to buckle that thing, which goes to illustrate the glaring shortcoming in this "passive restraint" system. On the flip side, if this had been a 40 year old car, the steering column would probably be through the driver's seat back. dcb

Crap, that was nice ride.
I'm glad you two made it through that intact.

Re: Totaled
thanks for all the comments. gf is out of the hospital. im going to look at the car for the first time since the accident today. maybe the insurance company will be good to me and i can salvage some of it. Dad still says im going to be amazed when i see it, when i get all of the pictures from the police report i will post them and i will take some today as well.
I'm keeping my eyes out for another on in as good a shape as that one was... and as far as those seats go...if i get the car i'll cut you a deal on them lol sorry for any typing errors or anything...typing with a broken finger is hardly what i would consider a fun passtime.
