Default Totalled my Tibby

Firday night I was driving home from my friends house and my car hit black ice and it spun and di a 180 and the back end went into a tree...the tree is about 3 feet into my trunk, so the car will never run again. As for me I have 3 stitches in the back of my head. I'm not sure of what type of car I would buy next, probably a safer one. ahaha, I'll post pics of damage, reminder I was going 45 mph.

I think you came out of that the safest way you could. Rear ending into a tree cannot get any safer.

How's the neck and head?

Be prepared for the vultures.

A safer one? What car can handle a tree at 45 miles an hour? Maybe the bat mobile, you got enough dough for that?

Anyways sorry to hear about your loss...glad you made it through.

Glad to hear that you're all right. How did you end up with stickes on the back of the head? Did a piece of the tree hit you?
