It is time for the Subaru story again? You know - the one where a guy
stole a Honda 125, shot out of an intersection and my wife broadsided
him - couldn't avoid him? And where the owner of the Honda came to
get his motorcycle, picked it up, started it and drove it home while
the Subaru has to be towed and subsequently was totaled with $9,000
worth of damage?


Probably what saved her life. If she was driving a Ford, there would be a
good chance she would come out with something worse than a bruising.

Saved what life? She hit in just under 35 mph. It was a Honda 125
which weighed, what , about 300 lbs?

Plus, do you believe another car would have less damage?

The damage was $2000 more than the price of the car. Yes, I do
believe that. The thing folded up like an accordion. The 125 had a
small dent in the fuel tank and was driven away.

Subaru's are crap cars, always have been, always will be. All the
nonsense about "crumple zones", etc., hides the fact that they are
built out of recycled tin cans.

Subarus are extremely solid.

No they aren't. I made the mistake once of leaning back on the hood
of a 2002 Forester and put a nice dent in it. Can't do that to any of
the cars I own.

Looks what people race at rallies where you drive these, un
modified in many cases, 80 MPH on dirt roads... Show me one American car
that could take that abuse...

Any of them.


Haha! I am glad GM and Ford marketing propaganda is working on you. Haha...
