Title: I Almost Died Today
Post by: FatalT on December 23, 2007, 09:39:04 PM
I was in a wreck on the interstate today and could have possibly died. Thankfully I wasn't actually hit by another car and I didn't hit any other cars. A douchebag on the interstate flew past me in the far right lane and cut me off, then proceeded to flip me off. I tried getting into another lane but my car swerved out of control and I flew into the middle guard barrier and slammed into it. After hitting it I rebounded off and tried to correct my car but couldn't and flew right back into the barrier.
Thankfully the only real damage done was to my bumper. I had a witness who stopped after the wreck and talked to me, then talked to a state trooper who came up and helped me get off the road. Hopefully my insurance will pay for a new bumper and the damage done to my car. What a crappy day.

I'm glad he's ok too. If anything, we don't need more 14 year old girls wearing black.

It would've actually been a better experience for me had I been actually injured or fatally wounded. I wasn't going slow by any means, Malek. Had I been going slower and not so aggressive at driving, this incident probably would not have occurred. Oh well.

Here's an update on what my car looks like now. It's been at the shop for the past month, but all that needs to be done now is to get a new spoiler and for it to be painted.

it looks all right. bumper damage is actually easy to fix without any mechanical experience (no I am not a mechanic so don't trust me lol). did you get any back pains or anything from the accident? usually it takes a couple days before you start actually feeling pain from a car accident.

Got my car back today and it looks great. I'm going to get the whole thing painted sometime soon instead of just the areas that they changed.
