    Default RIP to the WRX, but I survived!

    Guys, honestly I do not know how I am here typing this post right now. From the pics you can tell that.

    No need for a long story, it lasted all of 3 seconds. Heading towards Alpharetta to sell the WRX on Abbotts Bridge Road, the backend got loose and I could not correct it. If you have traveled Abbotts Bridge you know the spot. Just after making the left onto ABR in downtown Duluth, down the hill to the odd curves. I went left and came out the curve to the right, the back end slid. I was heading towards the right bank, tapped the brake a little and turned the wheel to the left and the car then slid across the lane into a ditch. I landed nose first, went upright, then landed on upside down.

    FYI: I was not speeding, no skid marks, and the witness said the car seemed to be gliding. I noticed uneven wear on inside of the passenger wheel. Before I left home I looked at it from the rear and could SWEAR it was slightly crooked, but I thought nothing of it.

    The residents across the street came out after they heard the sirens. They said, along with the Duluth Officers, that I am the 2nd in 2 weeks to go off there. The couple say people always have wrecked there. Wierd as hell.

    I am only hear to type by the grace of God, a seatbelt, and the construct of the Impreza. I literally walked away with a 1/8th inch scratch on my finger and a brusied shoulder from hitting the B pillar/ seatbelt pivot.

    On to the carnage that I snapped.

    Before:




    After:

    wow, hats off to you sir. this is a wreck thread that delivers haha.

    sry to hear about the scooby, but if you were about to sell it then i guess this will all work out in your favor seeing how you survived and all.

    well... i guess i should ask, do you have full coverage?

    and...

    I have no clue how that stuff works. I honestly want to move on from it. I will post the location of the car after the adjuster finishes his assement.

    Guages/Exhaust parts/radio & speaker/shift knob/Prodrive springs = an easy $1k.

    I drive it 3 times a week. I was going 45 at most. That rear tire spooked me before left my apt. Oddly enough I almost kill my self 10min later.

    Yeah, my windows were down and the B-pillars didnt even buckle. I am not sure of the Impreza safety rating, but it get my noob approval. I landed nose first and the motor didnt smash through.

    I don't know what I'd do if that happened to my car! I'd flip!

    But I think your car didn't want to leave you so it committed suicide.

    There is no other way to be. I was in shock the whole time because I could not fathom how the hell I was alive.
