Adios Amigos! McBrown35 signing out...

Well, the time has come to say good bye. I was driving down the road last week (in the left lane) of a 2 lane road and the dip *** in the right lane ahead of me in a Subaru Forrester decides to do a U-turn from the right lane right in front of me. Completely cut me off, had to swerve into oncoming traffic but ended up hitting the damn lady anyway. The early estimate is $6700... 95% to the magic number for the car being totaled. I'm going after her insurance company so we will have to see what happens. If the car is not totalled, I will be doing a massive part out of the car. Most of the Turbo components should be OK.

Damage is to right front.. including bumper, headlight, door, ground effect, hood, etc...

Yeah, luckily for the lady she hit the front half of the car, my 4 1/2 year old was in the back seat of the passenger side.... I'd be in jail if she would've hit my daughter...

good luck with what happens, i might be interested in the wheels/tires. If u have a short shifter then i want that too, but hopefully, it doesn't go that far! Ohh, and i might take whats left of the kit because someone rear ended my car before i got it.

Same thing happened to me on sunday at around 1am I was driving on the left lane and this guy (drunk by the way) try to beat me to go into a taco bell parking lot but the thing is that I was going 40 mph and he waited until there was 40 or 50 feet of distance between us to try and make the turn and I ended up hiting the guy on the front of the drivers side, well the car was a total loss and I ended up with back pain, cuts on my neck from the seat belt, the air bag burned my hand when it opened and I broke the windshield with my head. To sum up I really know how you feel it sucks. and the funny thing is that I have parts on the way by mail for the car and I didnt get to make the first payment on the car only had it for 3 weeks.
