Frightened Inmate #2

If it's really gross/painful, sorry for bringing up old memories.

Keltic's son's accident reminded me a lot of mine.

A friend and I were driving down an unfamiliar dirt road and there was a curve that I failed to negotiate. Lost control and rolled the 1985 Chevy Blazer onto its top in a ditch. Only one of the doors would open a little bit because we were wedged in.

We both walked away unharmed.

Edited to add that I was 15 at the time.

I was leaving the school after a track meet. I had my Cutlass Supreme(it was a real junker) and it started to rain...I had trouble seeing in the rain, and ran into a parked car.

I was 14.

I'd had the car about a month.

It was pretty tragic.

i haven't been in one myself *knock on wood*

when i was really little i was in one... all i know is my auntie (who was really old) had to go to the hospital because she hurt her neck. everyone else was fine. i think we were rear-ended.

my brother on the other hand has had three cars written off - none of which were his fault. Shocked

I was 17, headed out to register for some summer college classes and I was on a two lane road--there was a mail truck (sorry Andydp) parked at a funky angle on the road. Its bumper tore up my front quarter panel. (Actually my mom's car, that she paid for out of her own pocket--so I felt super terrible) I was not faulted by the cop, either. The mail lady harrassed me at my job later saying I had caused her higher insurance rates. wtf?

I ordered the parts and paid for them and my dad and I fixed them up. Some azzhat ran a red light and totalled it (with her in it) two months later. Mad

teee heee.
First one. I was driving an Army Transport truck, 2 1/2 for you army folks. i was at a stop light and i put it in gear and lurched it forward. well the CV joint was found to be broken. however i lurched right into a mini pick up and pushed the engine actuallt back a foot so the MP report read.

I was able to see the driver's eye grow to twice the normal size. no one was hurt thankfully but i am pretty sure that was the start of my "not like to dive" i was actually learning to drive on this truck.

It was an overly foggy Saturday around midnight. I was 17. A group of us took two cars to go TP a girl's house. Middle of nowhere - none of us had ever been there before. We got to the house and all agreed we didn't want to waste the TP on her, so we decided to drive to another guy's house that seemed much more fitting.

We got back in our cars - the other guy in front of me. It was foggy enough that I couldn't even see his tail lights. Well, up came a sharp curve. Neither of us saw the sign for it. He went into the cornfield first, I followed and couldn't steer out of the way - BAM.

No one hurt, but $2000 damage to his car and $1500 to mine, and since I hit him, my insurance had to cover it and it skyrocketed to $1500 per 6 months.

Oh, almost forgot - after reporting it to the police, we both got tickets for inattentive driving. He lost his license and I was down to 2 points left. Had I steered clear, we'd have been able to make it out needing nothing but a carwash. Confused

it was a dark and stormy night... we were driving down the high way when all o a sudden...

Puppy Love!

I've had several... only one bad one. I don't want to think about it anymore.

When I was a senior in high school, my mom had me go to the grocery store. I took my sister's '65 Mustang. On the way, maybe a block from home, I heard this ticking in the back seat. I turned around and there was a bag or a box or something. While that had my attention, I slid into a pick'em-up truck parked in front of a house.

Even though I got a concussion, I remember three things from that episode:

1. The Mustang was totalled.

2. The truck had $10 in paint damage.

3. I walked home, told my mom what happened, and went to the park to shoot some baskets.

I got in no trouble. My sister, on the other hand did... I never did find out what was ticking, though I know it was not a clock.

I was 15, I had a freshman football game in which I scored the first and only points of my high school career, my sister was taking me out to dinner for me scoring and playing well that day. Half mile (and only 2 blocks from my house) away from where we were going to eat a corvette pull out in front of us through an intersection an bam!!! Both cars were totaled, my forehead and mouth were cut (concussion) and my sister racked her knee up. The dumb chick in the vette walked out fine. First time I was ever in the back of an ambulance!

Junior in high school......drunk, girl in back seat, driving fast through high school parking lot, T-boned a big, mean senior driving his brand new GTO, like this:

for some reason, he didn't beat me up, the girl in the back seat strained her back and neck, but the family didn't sue me, and I wasn't even suspected of being drunk and was not breath tested or arrested or anything........I was really, really lucky.......it could have screwed up my life for a long time......
