Well, I've shared many other's My Subaru Stories over the years, including my brother's in my former Subaru Outback.

Yesterday, was MY Subaru Story. Someone cut in front of me at the last moment, and my Subaru kept me safe. It felt like being surrounded by a bunch of pillows for a fraction of a second. I'm unharmed, but horribly sad.

I've shared a lot of "My Subaru Stories" in the past. Well, I just became a "My Subaru Story". My Subie kept me safe and unharmed when someone cut in front of me. I'm devastated. But at least I am...

I am glad to hear that you are ok!
Also sorry for the loss of your trusty Ascent. I know you had a lot of great times with it and had it modified for your lifestyle.

Cheers, Steve

Glad you're ok! And glad to hear that the Subie did what it's supposed to. Hopefully it can be fixed, or you can find your way into a new one.

Sad news, but the important thing is that you were not hurt.

Your Ascent was a legend, so sorry to see it end up this way. Is it repairable or was it totaled?

 

[Lacrepe37]

So sorry about that. So glad you are ok.

That really bites, Robert. But I'm glad you were not injured, at least physically. It's going to hurt in the head, however, as that thang has been a very trusty companion for you over a "yuge" number of miles, including places that no mere mortal normally goes.

Glad you are doing ok...hope the vehicle can be fixed...

Glad to hear no bodily imjury!

Repairable or is there a 2023 with your name on it?

 

[James B]

Ouch! 😮
Stupid Ford van! And ironically there's an Outback in the background.

So sorry Robert to hear about your mishap.
Glad you are OK and I hope everything turns alright.
It is indeed very sad moment as I have seen your episodes and your love for the legendary Ascent
Please keep us updated about you and your Ascent.
I just saw the picture on Facebook felt terrible looking at the great Subie.

 

[Landshark]

Ahh, what a total bummer. Your subaru has been an inspiration for a lot of people! I hope it all works out in your favor in the end and am also glad you are unharmed!

 

[TheRaven]

So sorry that happened, Robert! But super glad you weren't hurt. And I appreciate you posting your story here. Just like every other area of life, driving a Subaru can be filled with both good and bad. Always enjoy hearing about all of your good stories and adventures, and it's nice to know that even a "bad" story like this one still has the happy ending of your Ascent keeping you safe.

First, glad you’re ok!

Second, how many of the aftermarket parts and pieces you’ve put on will transfer to your new ‘23 Ascent which a certain Econoline owner may be buying you soon?

2.5 months of auto rental costs to the responsible party.

Sorry to hear. Glad you're intact.
Machines can be replaced. Embrace the anticipation of the next Subaru chapter

It might just be repairable. I'll know soon. Does not look like any frame damage.

I hope you can get that legend fixed, but if not I hope Indiana can jump you to the front of the line as repayment for all you've done for the Subaru and Ascent communities.

I have not seen the damage, but it is hard to imagine that it would be worth it for the insurance company to repair given the airbags deployed and the mileage you have on it (even without frame damage). The supply chain challenges for parts, the high cost to repair, the lower value with higher than average mileage, past warranty period, love scratches etc. My bet is they choose to buy you out.

 

[JerryS]

Happy you were not hurt Robert

 

[Sparkland]

From the photos is does not look totaled, but the wait for parts might be well into 2023. Glad you came out unscathed. One Subaru owner in Denver has been waiting months for a rear bumper for a 2015 WRX. I looked at the pics on FB and the Subaru definitely took the brunt of the force, but still looks pretty good considering.
