Dec. 5th, 2023 I was driving…
Dec. 5th, 2023 I was driving my wife, her brother and our 4 month old newborn baby back from visiting family in Montana. We were in our 2017 Subaru Forester. About 2 hours into our drive, Subaru made a lifetime customer and friend out of me. We were going about 60 mph along a mtn side when out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of what looked like a large snowball falling down the mtn side. As quickly as I looked over, the snowball had disappeared into the deep ditch. Then just as fast, it bounced out of the ditch directly in front of us. In the time it took me to get my foot off the gas pedal and onto the brake it was too late. We hit a Boulder the size of one of those red concrete balls you see in front of the Target stores. Every airbag deployed and I couldn't see anything. All I could think was we just met our little Miller and that was not enough time with him! Somehow I managed to get our car off the roadway into the only section of shoulder barely big enough to allow for a vehicle. We were also in a curve where semi trucks were coming around the bend. Had our Subaru flipped or was stuck in the road, I may not be writing this story, but she held her ground long enough to get us to safety. Nobody sustained any injuries and to my surprise, the Subi looked fairly good for hitting such a large Boulder dead on at 60 mph. We went right back out and bought a 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness. Thanks for saving my family Subaru.
