We adopted BB8 into our family

My Brown Baby ’08 or BB8.

He was perfect for me. He had leather heated seats, moonroof, a stereo system, and all kinds of features. He was not brand new, but he had character. He was 2008, he had a lot of miles and is color was brown, but a big personality.  All my cars get names, for they are more than a machine. I spend a lot of time in my vehicles. I travel long distances each day, and I must rely on a vehicle to get me where I need to go to school and work. It took me a few hours, but I came to the name, because my favorite droid in Star Wars, is BB8. It just fit… I even ordered BB8 decals to put on the back of him. I owned this car for about 36 hours, but he saved my life.

The pictures below are all that is left from BB8. Taken the day after the accident.

Again I LIVED!

Thank you, Subaru for making the car that saved my life. This was the first Subaru I have ever owned. Several first responders commented that “if I had been in another vehicle, I would not have survived”the roll cage saved her life”. I know that this will not be the last Subaru, that I will own. For my protection, my families protection…
