Well I just totalled my car.

[Blackscare]

And now I can't go on my trip to New York I was going to do tomorrow, to see my week old baby brother.

Shit sucks :/

[Nachie]

I did that back in October... yeah it's kind of like a what the fuck moment but since it sounds like you are OK (I was as well) it sure is a great opportunity to be like oh shit, here's a situation I can't do anything about, and just move on without beating yourself up over it.

I sailed mine off a cliff though, so at least it was totally awesome.:thumbup1:

Um, care to explain?



Also Greyscare, glad that you're okay.

:ohmy: that sucks.

Totaling a car isn't that hard- depending on the year, miles and condition of the vehicle pre-accident.

I don't think any of that is as relevant as the force of the impact :P

Well, there are any number of little excuses I could make about it, mostly that my alignment was fucked up after the car having been towed, but honestly I really think I'm just an idiot who was going waaaay too fast around a turn that was probably only a few degrees away from being a u-turn, and sailed off the road a little over halfway through it. Smashed into a couple trees like a pinball while 30ft in the air. I and my passenger walked away unscathed, it was fucking amazing. Time froze and all that crazy stuff. Gripping the steering wheel of a car as all four wheels leave the ground is a pretty nutty experience.

Hard to really see but the hood is fucked from where we hit the first tree, car rolled several times until it was upright in the end, and photo is taken from the road.

Good story but hmmm... the situation calls for more explosions. awesome experiences of cars falling off cliffs without blowing up are kind of, well, glorified hitting of a tree.

Holy shit man that's pretty crazy! :blink:

But yeah, MarxSchmarx is right - there needed to be explosions and possibly a prior car chase with a Mexican drug cartel or something

Nachie wins the prize of totally hijacking a serious thread with related awesomeness.


And to greyscare... what happened? was there a collision in traffic?

[Il Medico]

Well, knowing how people drive in Pinellas, I can legitimately say I am not surprised. Hope you're alright mate and shame bout your car.

[Blackscare]

My asshole friend decided it was a good time for a fist fight when we were drunk a week or so again, and my glasses bent up.

Anyway, I'm sitting at a light and it's red, not in the turn lane, it's raining really heavily, and my glasses flew off my head like they do now. The turn light went green, and I thought all the lights went green because I couldn't see well. IDK why I just didn't grab my specs before hitting the gas, guess I didn't want to hold up traffic.


Anyways, I hit an old SUV, car I was driving is all fucked up, hers flipped three times and went into the woods. Then she climbed out and started yelling at me, which I totally deserved, after all.

Wow that sucks big time. SUVs are really fragile and are notorious for being unstable.

Still, she must have been going insanely fast for that to happen. I can kind of see this if the SUV swerved to avoid you, but what on earth did you hit her with to cause an SUV to flip 3 times over when you were going from being stopped? And did the SUV flip over your car? Or did you deflect it to go in the opposite direction?

[Blackscare]

I deflected it, thankfully. The force it was traveling with would have killed me if it flipped over me I think.
