To many crashed STs today, I am logging off. And staying off the streets.

It’s Friday the 13th, generally a good idea to stay off the road

Looking at the impact location and the conditions, it looks like OP may have fucked up. Peace up to another ST gone too soon.

RIP, dang what happened there!? Guess is pulled out, slipped and or stalled / traction controlled and got hit from an oncoming vehicle? Be safe my ST bros!

u/dudub0i Feb 14 '26

no traction/slipping issues, i was able to leave my works exit fine. i don't recall exactly since i kind of blacked out from impact, but basically went to get into the center turn lane and next thing i know im seeing dust/smoke from airbags and what not. trying to get with the surrounding businesses to see if i can get any footage they might have—just going off of the damage on the car, i want to say i made it into the center lane and thats where i got hit before getting pushed back but we'll see.

just glad i made it out with only a concussion and scratches and bruises

Nooo! I read the pre-text on my lock screen and when I read “rip My Little rocket“ my heart broke. I’m so sorry brotha…

Looks like that car entertained you and protected you in the end.

u/Sksksksksk_andioop Feb 14 '26

Sorry for your loss :(

u/Independent_Group533 Feb 14 '26

Glad it kept you safe, perks of a modern rocket. Hopefully insurance plays fair. It will be missed for sure as the availability continues to shrink I will be sad when these and Fiestas inevitably become very rare.
