My car was totaled in an accident last week. Thanks to engineers who are better at math and physics than I, all that I am suffering is a broken left wrist, which I got when the airbag slammed mt arm into the steering wheel. Car shopping sucks under the best of circumstances, but in a bit of a rush like I am now? Terri-bad. Fortunately the sales guy is a nerd into space and knows his shit, and I am getting more than I thought I'd receive for the carcass I leave in the scrap yard.
I remember you were looking at cars in the same category as me, and I'm definitely interested in what you settle on and any initial experiences. So sorry for the circumstances. Was the wrist break pretty clean? Are you able to get around OK with whatever cast or brace is on it?
Simple radial fracture, but a full arm cast to immobilize the wrist. Sucks ass, but glad that it was not worse. 3 weeks in a full cast, then 3-6 weeks in either a sling or brace and therapy. I've put in an order for a Subaru Crosstrek; same frame and engine as the Impreza wagon, but will fit an 18" telescope down the road.
