OMG...that car is a pancake or worse...absolutely amazing that guy survived and with little to no injuries...

Reminds me of a story of a friend who drives a Subaru WRX hatchback (2.0L Turbo with some SSR rims) as well...anyway, he was stopped at a light and saw this lady in a car barreling down on him. He looked at the driver of the car and saw she was looking down at the floor of her car and not the road ahead and knew the lady was going to hit him hard.

She impacted him enough to completely throw his car forward and smash the car in front of him. The lady that hit him completely smashed her car as well...both cars (in front & behind his) had to be towed away. The only thing that happened to his car was a little buckling on the front hood...his car looked basically perfect sitting between two pretty demolished cars...simply amazing! One of the witnesses was awe struck and thought Subaru should make a commercial out of his accident...everyone was asking what kind of car he had (it was de-badged).

I saw the car afterwards and I had no idea it was in an accident without him pointing it out...Though he is going to sell it after it gets fixed...

He obviously had some divine help with this one.....but even so....Subaru doesn't build junk. We have had many threads on Subaru quality.

Amazing. I remember someone posted a thread on this right after it happened. Still can't believe the guy is walking around today.
