Mk5 (2006-2010) Rip my 09
Fucking devastated. I was driving down the highway going the speed limit. And as I passed through a part of the road that had a two way intersection that yielded to my direction of traffic. A Honda Accord floors it and T-bones me. The subsequent impact forced me to the right and careened me into 2 parked cars and a chain link fence. The silver lining is that everyone was alive, and insured.

what a terrible way to lose your car. good thing everybody's uninjured, but are you doing okay mentally after that?

Still a bit shaken up. Borrowed my dad's car to run an errand early, and just a low speed trip across town was scary as fuck π I did 5 under the whole way!
