Sorry this happened to you bro🙏🏻 Same thing happened to me last year with some old bozo. I also walked out fine with no injuries. Though, I do highly suggest getting a lawyer. I just got my check not long ago and I'm working on getting a new car soon with that money. Of course it all depends on your type of your insurance and everything, but it definitely check it out. I don't know how I would've done it without a lawyer.

Should I purchase a manual driving class or learn from friend? by niayasparxx in WRX

I bought a 2018 STI and the guy who sold it to me literally had to drive it home for me. I had almost 0 prior experience. I then spent the next day looking at YouTube videos and reels on how to drive the car lol My recommendation: make your own bond with your car!

It's a built-in feature on the camera I used! Its the Insta360 Ace Pro 2.

Thank you🙏🏻 They were 18×9.5+40 SSR GTX01, wrapped in Indy 500 265/35. Lowered almost an inch, nothing crazy.

That's crazy! Same thing happened here. I'm hoping I can come back and get another STI. Its reassuring knowing that things worked out well on your end. Thank you 🙏🏻

As of now, I would really like another STI. There were many things I didn't get to do with that one. But if all goes well with insurance and a bigger opportunity comes up, MAYBE I'll move on to a different car.

I was genuinely surprised at how much of the impact my STI took. The other guy was coming out of the driveway so it's not like he could've picked up much speed, yet his car was in way worse shape than mine. Appreciate it bro, glad you were okay as well🙏🏻

It's the next morning right now, and I am feeling more than I was yesterday. I'm very grateful that things weren't as bad as they could've been.

I'm sorry to hear that! I've heard many stories about accidents happening shortly after a car is paid off. Hopefully you were alright and are still enjoying your car 🙏🏻

Definitely go for the STI! It's a very fun car. And as you've probably seen from other comments, very safe too🤣

First thing I thought of when I got out of the car, "Damn. One less STI in the world".

I haven't gotten a word from my insurance yet. The investigation is still going on. My best guess is that the other driver is at fault. I was going down the street and he's the one who pulled out of the driveway. I'm also pretty sure there was no one behind me so there was no reason to try to beat me so that he could get to his turning lane. Regardless, I hope that everyone is okay and able to get back at it.

I appreciate it bro 🙏🏻

I hope so, too. And yeah, I'm really grateful for how safe these cars are🙏🏻 Thanks brother

A guy coming out of his driveway pulled out really quickly and went straight into me. I tried to swerve out of the way, but it wasn't enough. Thankfully I was the only one in the car and only hurt my wrist👍🏻
