Amazing. and thank God youre ok. thanks for sharing that. I hope it will show others how dangerous it is

 

You got really, really lucky..and your quick judgement probably did save not only your life but the lives of the others. Good thing your fine.

Street racing is beyond stupid. When I visit my home state, I get harassed a lot because I drive the Prelude. Its so stupid. The best thing to do is to just ignore people who want to do that dumb stuff..they obviously dont have a brain.

 

glad you are still with us.. that is all I can say there.

What happened "officially" according to the police?

 

holy shit dude! it's amazing you walked away... use that for your advantage. and, this also probably taught your sons a very valuable lesson as well. it's just not worth it.

 

Very sad, but I count myself among the blessed. I get a second chance, where many before me have perished in accidents like this one.




I did signal to switch lanes and I ALWAYS wear a seatbelt. Wearing a seatbelt is like the first thing I do as a habit when I get in any car. The seatbelt saved me from being thrown, plus I pushed against the floor and pushed my back into the seat, held onto the steering wheel and braced for impact.

Anyone notice that in my delirious state, I put on the parking break before I got out of my car?




Yes, it's dangerous and stupid to speed so fast or even if you like to street race. It's selfish and thoughtless.



According to the police, it was a street race. According to witnesses, it was a streetrace and we were head to head and side by side. According to the news, we were both teenagers streetracing super-modded imports and we clashed doors and then lost control and flipped over onto the sides of the road. All are a big crock of lies, but oh well. I will let the judge and my lawyer sort it out. Also, my car flew and flipped 3 times for 245 feet. I really shouldn't have survived.

In my heart, it was all God's protection over me so that I can still serve his purpose on this earth. I think I need to be a better example to people that look up to me and I was given another chance to do so.

 

that's really unfortunate. i'm sorry to hear that. it's good you admitted and know never to do that again. sometimes we think we're invincible but we're really quite the opposite. we're all glad to see you walking away from that. i hope the scans turn out fine and it's amazing. thanks for sharing that with us.

i remember you joining these forums. i think you wanted a bodykit or spoiler or something and i complimented you on having a nice new white tiburon. good to see you ok though. get well and take it easy you did the best that you could so don't stop smile.gif

 

That sucks mate but it's good to hear you made it out in one piece.

To be honest though, upon seeing the truck pull out in front, I'd have simply started to apply the brakes (or planted my foot on the brake pedal depending on how close the truck was) & hoped for the best.

Granted, the Eclipse would've had to have been surgically removed from your arse but you probably wouldn't have rolled the car that way.

Also, there would have been no question as to who was at fault... none of these street racing accusations, at least.

 

thanks for sharing your story... sometimes some people needs to been shown the effects of it
