This afternoon I was heading home from shopping. I waited at a red light until it turned green, went out into the intersection, saw a blur coming at me from the left, and I swear to God, thought "this is gonna hurt". I hit the car, spun about 270 degrees, airbags went off, car totaled.
After everything came to a stop, the next thing I noticed was what a horrible smell the airbags left.
Known injuries are ringing ears and bruises and abrasions on my forearms from the airbag.
The front of the Outback appeared to crumple as designed. I couldn't take a close look due to the police keeping me away.
Seven great years with the car and 128,000 miles. I'll miss her. Just did a half-shaft and a new battery last month.
Since there's a claim pending, that's all I can say for now.
