I don't want to take the attention away from this guy, I'm glad he's okay and it's unfortunate what happened. I know the stereotype, but not ALL kids mistreat their new cars. I take better care of my car than ANYONE at my school.

Something about the dynamics of this accident seem hinky. I mean, I'm a volunteer EMT, I've seen a few hundred of these and I'm sorry, but I'm not buying that you looked down for a split second and that somehow translated into a 200' slide that impacted a car and two trees.

I looked down and went over the double yellow about a foot. Once I looked up, i saw I was over the lines and another car was coming. I tried to turn back into my lane, but it was too late. My car went wheel-for-wheel with a car in the opposite lane. My wheel kinda got t-boned and broke off of the suspension, and went under my car. My car slid AFTER the wheel broke off. By the way as an update, my car has been officially totalled by my insurance. Got some more pics when I got my plates off today.

Heres the wheel that started it all.

The brake is completely fine, even the disc. go figure.

Hope insurance doesn't hike.

==================
The insurance will go wayyyyyy up , but what else do you expected to happen

First of all the most important thing is that everyone is ok and everyone was able to walk away and talk about it.

I totaled my 68 Camaro years ago while i was living in Mass. I was driving along and i slid on some black ice which made the car slide sideways into a telephone pole on the drivers door. I never saw it and there was nothing i could do about it once the car was sliding and out of control. I was and am still grateful i didn't kill or hurt myself or anyone else. It only takes a second for something to happen.

Take this as a learning experience and move on.

I would say you need to be looking for a new car. Shit happens to all of us. Main thing is that you both walked away.

Did you mean a lucky break?

Yeah yeah, drum roll.

That pushes the resale up on my V6 just ever so slightly, one less car in the supply pool. =p For real though, it sucks to see that happen. I'm glad to finally see someone admit they screwed up. It kind of hits home, because I just bought my own as a 20-year-old as well.

Those pics make me CRINGE, glad your okay, how many miles did you have?

Gregwardocanibal · 05-02-2012, 10:17 AM

11000 miles. Insurance company says my car was worth $24,900 so I got a good down payment.
