Holy crap. Do you have any pictures of the carnage? How about a story to go along with it?
BTW, welcome.

glad you are okay and hope you enjoy the other side of turbocharged 4 cylinder awd


per request here is the hypothetical story

"as I was driving down the street when a beautiful blue swirl went by, i caught a glance that it was a huge winged sti, 'ahh, archenemies' i thought. Then out of nowhere a hemi ran a red light and blindsided me with a violent impact. I was shaken up but walked away injury free, as a continuation of the thought I went out to seek a STi with awesome B-pillar for added safety."

People are such liars. Lying to a police officer - hope she got her dumb ass arrested.

Let me guess she was like 75? I mean a sunpass lane and backing up? The only logical explanation was a retired old lady in Florida who shouldn't be on the road.
