I bought my forester 2 weeks ago. It was a hard decision giving up my mustang and becoming practical.
Today while driving home, it happened so fast im not exactly sure, maybe a blow out but the car veered right hard I ran into an embankment and was thrown upside down, and slid 100 feet on my top across a heavily used road.
2 guys ran over opened my door and said we have to get you out the car is smoking really bad.
I shut the engine off which was still running to my supprise. gave myself a once over "Everything works", Unhooked my belt and fell out lol.. yeah i was upsidedown. the guys pulled me out help me across the road from the smoldering car.
I gave myself another quick eval.. toes work, arms work fingers ok.. I can see etc etc.
paramedics, police, fire. the works showed up a few min later. asked by every police officer there if i was taking anything or distracted or texting or anything. *My phones in the cubby off while driving* can someone please get it and call my girlfriend..
Needless to say they didnt and proceeded to ransack the car looking for who knows what.
I was hauled off to the hospital and checked out for a while.
A trooper came in with my phone and asked one more time if I was on anything or distracted etc etc etc. No officer I honestly do not remember, just a thud and being upside down with sparks flying in my face.
no tickets, no citations.. nothing.
I stood up, and felt fine. Not a single scratch or burn or mark or bruise or pain.
Ill let the pics tell the story of the forester.. My mothers line today was "Andrew, you have something you need to do still.. It wasnt your time"
Shes very religious. maybe shes right.
Final pic is of me 1.5 hours after the crash standing next to the car that Im pretty damn sure saved my life
