We visited Erica's family for
New Year's Eve tonight, and about five minutes from their house, as we
were waiting for a light, we witnessed a side-impact collision between
a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Chevy Lumina that was having some stalling
problems in the middle of the intersection. After the Lumina was hit
from the side, it drove straight into the front of our WRX, crushing
most of the front of the car; the radiator, hood, driver's-side fender,
and driver's-side headlight were completely destroyed, and I'm not
sure about anything else (it's was towed away by the city, awaiting
a clearing up of events with our insurance company). Noone was injured,
and ours was the only car that couldn't make it away under it's own power.
We've owned this car for just a bit over six months now, and it's possibly
already totalled. Happy new year. :-P
