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.

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

Re: Totaled

I think luck had everything to do with your injuries not being any more severe. Judging by the (very small) pictures, the passenger cabin is as deformed as something from a Chinese crash test video!

OMG, glad that you are ok.

Cannot believe that you walked out practically unharmed from that accident...
