Hey guys just wanna let all of you know that my car was actually in a pretty horrific accident
2 weeks ago i went up angeles crest to see the snow and i left the house at a odd number, 9:11. I had 2 other guys in the car and both are pretty much perfect there was no broken bones in this accident but mine. i drove for no longer than 15 mins and i was actually driving slow up there for once. i was going aound 35 and on one of the turns is was covered with black ice. i went into the turn fine but when the back tires hit it started to drift towards the moutain i tried to control it but i just caused it more worse. I rolled down that side of the mountain for about 800 feet. The car is not only totalled but has now been crushed. I broke my head, my eyebrow bone, and my left jaw. Other than that i was perfectly fine. It took me 2 weeks to recover ...so sad that this happened but grateful that i am alive. __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last

When you do drive again its gonna be intense. i remember when i got into my first accident while i was drag racing. I was lucky to come off that alive too, but anyways the first time you get behind the wheel you'll see the mental impact of the accident. But just keep at it and eventually you be able to drive without you tripping. | | | | | 02-18-2008, 05:09 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 |

Yea, right after my accident i would trip whenever cars got to close and i wasn't even driving.  But yea as long as your doing better that's all that matters. You'll work on others things when it comes time to. But yea everyone here was worried about you when Hugo let us know what had happened. | | | | | 02-18-2008, 05:50 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |
