Jeeze mate, sorry to hear about it....any chance the other guy had insurance? Might sound like bloodthirsty but get what you can from him if possible....

she does, still waiting to see what happens there.

Not a good thing to happen to anyone this time of year, glad that your allright mite be spending some time in front of the box by the sound of it.
Sorry about the Suby, RIP..... You will have time time to suff the net now to find you next Suby now.

Ouch! The collarbone must be painful, makes me cringe thinking about it.
Any photos of the damage to your car?

minimum 6 weeks in front of the box, as getting to work involves climbing a 5 story ladder each day and back down again at the end of the day

there were a couple taken, im just waiting for the email, from what i recall the drivers side front had a major renovation...

My condolences on your loss and your newly found aches.

Sorry to hear that both you and the Subaru are not in the best condition.

well on the upside i might be recieving another suby, a '92 EFI wagon with the factory lift kit

Factory lift kit? That's a new one......please explain?
Could u mean the air-adjustable struts some imports have?

...or the factory wind up struts?

Well that's interesting! Please do let us know about this. Especially the *certificated* part.

Mate, sorry to hear about your loss and injury. Sounds like you were a lucky boy - someone's looking out for you.

Good luck on the EFI subi. They go really well if you keep the radiator in good nic. Long story.

Get well soon.
