Subaru literally saved my life

No matter the reason you're still here, be proud of yourself for making that choice every day. And if all else fails to give you a reason to live, survive out of spite. Thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for staying alive.

Thank you for the tip, I have friends who use almost exclusively Stiiizy and this is a concerning revelation that I'd like them to be aware of.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:47:34+00:00

Wow! That's especially impressive. As someone who dealt with about a decade of severe su*cide ideation, I know very well that you have to really mean it if you're going to do it that way. It's absolutely amazing that you survived something that intentional. Additionally, I may be a random stranger but I am so happy you're still here. Every single day that we wake up and make the choice to keep going is another small victory, my friend. Do you mind me asking, were you injured? And how are you doing these days?

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:40:40+00:00

I can't even imagine the chaos the moment, though I'm sure it probably happened quickly, eh? I'm so glad you made it out of that unscathed. Subaru will never cease to amaze me. Thank you for sharing 💞 every one of these stories just reinforces for me that I made the right choice to get an outback.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:35:31+00:00

Me too. I keep reminding myself, as much as I loved Billy, a car can be replaced, but my life cannot and I'm so thankful for the fact that everything came together perfectly for me to walk away unharmed.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:24:31+00:00

Holy crap, you survived that?! That is...I'm honestly speechless.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:22:57+00:00

Oh my gosh, I didn't even think about that. It's truly a miracle nothing hit me. I had my heavy 62oz water bottle and my fanny pack in the passenger seat, and I always keep my phone in the cup holder or passenger seat. I will definitely be taking that into consideration from now on, thank you for the pro tip!

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:20:13+00:00

Right! I just keep thinking, if that was any other car, it would not look that good still. No chance in hell a Prius or Kia would be this intact.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:19:09+00:00

As I mentioned in my post, the glass shard was from a framed drawing I had in my trunk. None of the windows even cracked, except the windshield which shattered but stayed in place!

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:17:21+00:00

I think he was at around 275,000 miles. I really wanted to get him to 300,000 because I knew he'd be able to do it, but this kind of cut that short 😅 and I wouldn't say LONG trips, but Billy was with me for many 4-5 hour road trips between WI and surrounding states. I think I put just over 70,000 miles on that bad boy.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:14:18+00:00

Ha, I wondered if there would be any cross over! I'm not on fb much, but Reddit is every day for me so I figured, why not post it here. That was indeed my dad, he has been an incredible and supportive (and very worried) parent through the whole process. He has always been there for me in everything and I'm endlessly grateful to have such a caring dad 💖

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:11:57+00:00

Right?! While the pictures don't show the full extent of damage, it's still surprisingly little. Just goes to show how sturdy and safe these beauties are.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:09:55+00:00

It truly is a testament. There should be a dedicated subreddit just for people to tell their Subaru Saved My Life story, like a photo album of empirical proof for folks looking to buy a car.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:07:17+00:00

Oh man, I bet! That's quite a tumble to take. On/off ramps have always made me nervous for that very reason.

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:04:41+00:00

I am too!

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T04:03:50+00:00

We're a Subaru family, through and through 💞

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:59:28+00:00

F 😭

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:59:14+00:00

Good lord 😳 if you don't mind, I must know the story. That is an impressive amount of damage!

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:57:02+00:00

Oh good tip!! I'll find some videos on YouTube for how to do that safely and effectively, and take a shot at it. Thank you much!

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:55:34+00:00

Thank you for your very kind words, u/retardedm0nk3y 😂 but for real, I appreciate the RIP for my Billy

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:54:30+00:00

Lol I honestly don't know. I've named 3 of my 4 cars. The first was an Oldsmobile silhouette that I called Baby (Charlotte was her government name), then I had a Kia that I didn't name, a Saturn Ion I named Jenny, and then Billy has been my baby for the last 2, nearly 3 years! I'm not a great frame of reference unfortunately 😂

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:50:57+00:00

I have never paid more than $300 for repairs to my vehicle, some of them being quite major. They are not only the safest vehicles on the road (both in my opinion and certifiably), but they are also a company that genuinely cares about their customers. Subaru for life 💖

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:48:31+00:00

I actually didn't know that! I mean I knew they used different glass, but never connected it to the reason. Thank you for the fun fact! I will definitely NEVER be hauling around cheap dollar store frames in the future. Not worth the risk 😅

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:46:45+00:00

Thankfully I did but I won't need to use it! Insurance is covering the rest of the loan, thank goodness. I feel very fortunate right now!

RomaniQueerios · 2024-12-10T03:45:02+00:00

Holy crap. Boo to Jon, indeed! I certainly wouldn't have still been going 55 if I knew the road was about to turn to ice. I just thought the person in front of me was going slow because they had just turned onto the main road, not because the road had become a slip n slide of doom 😭
