@jolly A lot shaken (I had a friend in the passenger seat who needed to be checked out; luckily, just arm bruising from the air bag), but not so much as a scratch or an ache for me, thankfully. It could have been much worse in so many ways.

@lufins-dad Right there with you
My trusty ´09 car, which I had bought brand-new, was deemed a total loss after a collision last week, and I suddenly found myself in the "oh shit I need a car now" situation. Never a good situation, but right now is a horrible time to be in that situation. The used cars I was finding online were selling out within a day or two of me saving them to my list.I broke one of my car buying rules, too--if buying used, take it for a pre-purchase inspection--because if I waited until I could get it checked out, it would have surely been gone. Lots of anxiety over that, but it just passed inspection, and fingers crossed, I won´t need to buy a car in the next decade or so.
´16 Mazda 3 hatchback, manual, 19K miles
Glad to hear you're okay.
Mazda 3 2014 manual is what we got for my daughter. It's been a good car for her these past 4 years; needs nothing but regular maintenance so far. I hope you enjoy driving your Mazda as much as she does.

@optimistic So glad to hear you are OK.
Surprised you found a manual transmission car!

Well this happened today

That's great, congrats! We are a Honda family btw. Now that it's in the past and obv YMMV (literally?) but with car buying I'm very much of the approach of not worrying too much about this deal or that deal or the sell vs lease vs used vs new. Get something (within budget) that you'll be happy driving (and watching other family members drive) for the next few years. Everything else is just in the weeds.
