Get Well Soon Garik!

[HuGo]

30yrMbr...we dont know for a fact whether he was up there going normal or going fast...only he knows...but i guess whatever it was, hes survived. And most likely he wont remember either since his sister told me he doesnt really remember what happen that day.

I went up to angeles crest today with my cousin to take a few shots...i was nervous the whole time. It was kool to see snow. I havent seen snow in years. I tried to think of where he could have fallen off and landed on the the roof of his car...but i didnt see any signs of the possible location.

thats why i love bmws, they'll save your life in most cases.
we had an old e28 535i that's side went into a tree at about 70mph, it hit passenger side front door, i was sitting in passenger seat, i crawled out, we pulled it back onto the road with a truck, and we drove it back home.

hey guys thanks for caring.......ya im alive and doing much better every day...i did wear a seatbelt but my friend in the back wasnt and he was actually thrown out of the hatch of the car. Im doing the worst...if you can believe it. Ya my head got broken and i had internal bleeding. The car is a ball but now has been crushed. im so sad that shes gone but im more happy to be alive.


i wasnt speeding if that what you guys are thinking i was doing 35mph but that black ice is not kind.

also angles crest goes up to 2000 feet so my fall wasnt anywhere near the top

Glad to hear you're ok garik. The same week you got that accident a friend of mine died. He got hit by a train. It would have been really really bad for me to have gone to two funerals in such a short time. But things happen and you're alive and that's the best we can hope for.

Next meet at you're house, no? Well grill out? This way, you actually wont miss a meet.

But in all seriousness, im glad you're ok ara

[Marv17]

yes yes. ARA. well at least now you can upgrade cuz you have to. SC'ed Ti? lol. jk, just glad to hear from you garik. although we all pick on you the most within the group we still care about ya buddy.
but yeah, take it easy for a while. want ya back on your feet asap.

Garik it broke my heart when I heard you got hurt. Needless to say, I'm very happy that you're still with us. Having plenty experience with black ice and driving on icy roads, I know it wasn't your fault. I wish you and your friends the best with recovery and I'll help you find another car. Luckily the BMW is replaceable. It's gonna be hard for you to get back behind the wheel and every time you feel your car hydroplane or jerk from hitting puddles and whatnot, it's gonna scare the crap outta you for a while. Just hang in there and take it easy buddy. Get well soon,

Jess
