CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@catsalad *cracks knuckles* NO (yes, but NO)

@steter Definitely a David vs Goliath in terms of overall vehicle dimensions, but those trucks aren't so tough as they look. Also, there's a reason Anchorage Continental Motors is the highest volume Subaru dealership in the world.

@stufromoz I was. I mean, I had no expectations what they smelled like until *poof* there I was

I have more in my bank account than that car cost, and another of equal value at my house, for what it's worth. Anchorage is the Subaru capital of America, after all.

@spytfyre @stufromoz Jealous? Of snow? What's your address? I'll send you PLENTY.

@steter Yes, that was of course the first question I asked of the other driver, and repeatedly so. I'm sure we're both a little sore now, but otherwise not for the worse aside from the trauma.

@stufromoz Did I mention those airbags smell like sulfur?

Oh, I forgot to mention, it was mom's car. She's of the age that "it is what it is" so she won't be punitive about the replacement. I will do whatever I can to make it right for her, obviously, because my mom is awesome, but what a mess.

@stevegis_ssg We're both "okay". But the car is totaled. And now that the adrenaline has worn off I could really use some muscle relaxants.

@aral Thank you. I'm "okay" but could really use some muscle relaxants right about now.

@daj Tell me how flirtatious YOU are right after an airbag deploys in your face.

@James Thank you. Now that the adrenaline has worn off, I definitely feel the effect in my back & neck. Goddamnit, car culture sucks. I need to get back on the bike.

Car crash recommendation: 0/10 AVOID

@petes_bread_eqn_xls Thank you. Glad the other party is okay. Reminder that car culture sucks.

@mivox Glad the other driver was okay as well. This just forces the need to get back on the fucking bike.

@stufromoz *toot

How shocked was I at experiencing a car crash that I forgot to take in how hot the officer was? Or not. Either way, I'm losing it.

@flaki Thank you. Just glad everyone is okay. I need to get back on the bike.

@Lorraine Sucks. Just glad everyone is okay.

@shaknais Could be a lot more ow. Just glad everyone is okay.
