Giancarlo Antonnicola, already introduced- but new car

Sadly on the day of October 25, My 98 Legacy GT was lost. A JMU girl rear ended me. I was at a stop light like any other person, I look up in the rear view mirror, and think "Well she's not going to sto-" and thats when I was hit from behind at ~45mph. The force pushed me into the car in front of me. And yes this was on Reservoir Street, with a speed limit of 25mph. The wreck totaled my car. Both my parents were also in the car and were hurt, Nothing life threatening, my dad seems to be recovering fine,and my mom is in a bit of pain but has been back and forth from the doctor and the physical therapist. Hopefully she will be fine.

My Legacy had bunch of frame damage, but the body held up amazingly well for the hit it suffered. Subaru's are damn safe cars. But now into the good stuff. Since the wreck I've had a rental car. I HATE it. Its a Chrysler 200. 18mpg, terrible blind spots and overall just a crap car. But! I have since purchased a 2009 Subaru Outback. Has 95k miles on it. Only outback I could find in the price range of what insurance gave me. Only thing I hate about it is that it's an Automatic Transmission. Every time I get in the car I still reach for the clutch and the stick to put it in neutral. Lol. But I'll be strong and get over it.

Got the car in Lynchburg, so It had about a 200 mile trip. Not a single thing wrong. Over the mountains and the interstate was a blast. So smooth.

Glad y'all are okay. The body damage really looks like near-nothing but if the frame took the brunt of it, then I can see how it'd be totaled.

New Outback looks nice!
