bad auto accidents
have you had one? tell us about it, get it off your chest. i have destroyed 3 cruisers, but who cares? that was work-related. but i had an antique jaguar XJ-6. i LOVED that car. one night, in the rain, three deer ran in front of me. i rolled that car 3 times and landed on the roof. i still don't know how i got out. i was upside-down and disoriented and could not find my phone. i walked home somehow. next day i saw it and was shocked....that thing had a steel frame and was crumpled like a beer can. my friends saw it and asked why i was alive. i am still upset over that car.

Ok, it's not an actual accident, but it's an almost accident. True story here: I'm driving eastbound I-696 to see a friend for lunch. It's winter, but the roads are clear. It's lunch hour and all around me are cars. I remember that registering in my brain a couple seconds before what happened, happened. I'm cruising the fast lane, about 65 mph when I hit some ice. My car comes off the ground entirely, and when it touches down again, I lose control, and start spinning. I remember thinking clearly: "DON'T touch the brakes or try to wrestle control over the car!!!" and I basically hang on for dear life and squeeze my eyes shut. I feel the first revolution of the car, then the second, and I'm thinking to myself, "When am I going to get creamed? There were cars everywhere, when am I going to smash into one?" Halfway through the third revolution I open my eyes to see the grill of a huge truck staring into my windshield. I squeeze my eyes shut again and brace myself for the crash. A second later, all is still and quiet. I crack my eyes open to find myself sitting on the shoulder of the highway, facing the right direction, under a bridge. I had spun 3 times across 4 lanes of traffic, during lunch rush hour and not touched a car. Anyone care to take a guess how that happened? 'Cuz I still can't explain it, and it happened about 9 years ago. |

Re: bad auto accidents
you have an angel on your shoulder honey. so do i . thankfully.
...yeah, i talked to a trooper (AAA of the highway we call them) one night about the camaros. they put prisoner in front shotgun seat, cuffed to the door. i don't like it at all. many times they will call us to get a real car to transport some idiot. they need the camaro for speed, but useless otherwise. |
