What did I do to my 19 Legacy 3.6 today?
I said good-bye and accepted the settlement offer from USAA from it getting totaled Monday. (It took 'em 4 days to schedule and perform the appraisal and write up the settlement)
I filed the claim through my own insurance who will subrogate it to Nationwide, the other driver's insurance, who already accepted liability.
Their driver was ticketed for running a Stop and failure to yield, (Dash Cam FTW!) and he actually told the officer, "I really misjudged that!"
Here are some nekkid pics:
(Just look at those supple curves on the A-Pillar!)
Only things holding the tire to the car are the rubber part of the brake line and some wiring. The part with the rubber boot that's sitting on the frame isn't actually connected to anything under the car.
Everything was pretty much ripped off the frame (control arms, shock tower assembly,driveshaft was ripped out, The CVT was cracked, though I couldn't get any decent pics since the car is sitting on its frame. I wasn't allowed to pop the hood but was told everything was ripped of the engine on the right side and everything mounted to the fender in that area was crushed.
Neck is still sore which I guess is to be expected, considering he hit me hard enough to knock me over into oncoming traffic.
There's an identical 3.6Limited waiting for me at the dealership (same options, same color even) but I'm thinking about getting an Outback 3.6 Touring. The bigger cargo area would be useful for when I buy bulky things like large computer cases and gaming chairs and stuff like that...but I dunno.
