_Aramchek_ Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Long story short I was driving in to Ontario,I almost missed my exit turned in a little late,hit a patch of gravel,slid sideways,it jumped back to the other side,I almost had it back under control when I clipped a curb. The next thing I knew the car somersaulted and I was looking at the road out of my windsheild as the car spun and slid on it's roof. Luckily these are safe cars and the only scratch I had on me was aquired when I released the seatbelt and crawled out through the broken glass. The car was still runningbut would cost too much to ship home and fix so...it is no longer with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yikes, a wild ride that you will remember the rest of your life. Glad you were not hurt. What is your next ride going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next ride? I want another Outback or a Legacy,I was very impressed with how gentle the whole accident was conscidering what happened and I loved that car. I have a 1990 chipped Honda Accord I am selling to hopefully make up some of the money I'll need to get another OBW. The Honda is quicker but feels far less safe and sturdy,and it ust never felt like it "fit" me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Aramchek_ Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 no,you sure can't,especially in the snow. My honda doesn't like to go anywhere in snow. I hope I can find another Legacy soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the car still running while it was upside down? Colleague saw the picture and said its a bit strange way to inspect the exhaust and catalyc unit.

Oregon_Legacy Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Glad that you are still alive. I have heard of a similar story where a guy walked away alive with a minor scratch from a serious accident all because of his Subie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
