OMG...:O:O:O

I am glad that you are ok...all in all. Wow....I ummmmm....clearly the car is a total loss. Geez what happened.

I have to say....I love civics and will always own one....I had a really bad accident and came out fairly unscaved in a civic. A dodge truck hit me while I was stopped at about 45 mph. Car totalled ....me ok! They do their job keeping ppl safe!!

Wow man, those pictures sure say way more than words ever could.

We're wishing you a speedy recovery.

thanks and yeah civics are awesome.

Ouch :O.Well at least your still alive :gj:

damn.

So...what's the story?

the story is..... i work up early for work and it was flooding outside. so i left early so i could take my time. i was on ther interstate, i was going around 65the car just started fish tailing and spun out and went down about a 200 foot imbankment and flipped off in about a 6 foot deep canal partially filled with water. i was stunned for a min and then i call 911 and then my wife. i climbed up and out the top of the car (it was on its side) walked up the hill it was still dark and raining and i tryed to flag down someone to help and no one would stop it took about 45 min for help to get there. i was bleed from my ear and i was freaking cause i just knew i had a bad head injury and in one pictures you can see the blood comin out of my ear. i am so lucky and it was just a busted ear drum. but i am so happy to get to see my family.

:O You are lucky that you are alive!!

Wow... thank your lucky stars, for sure!! I guess somebody was watching out for you today. :oops:

Scary stuff. Glad you and your wife are safe! That feeling of losing control of a car is just horrible, time moves so slow for a few seconds as it hits you (been there).

Wishing you a speedy recovery and cliche as it sounds be grateful to be alive regardless of the other stuff (not that it diminishes any of your injuries or your upcoming recovery), as you can take that one day at a time... being that you have days left.

Will be hoping for the best for you both.

Bruce

Glad to see your ok for the most part. Sucks about your car but all they are is a bunch of metal and fiberglass. They can be replaced very quickly. You cant replace a life. Glad to see the lord watching out for you!

Glad to see that airbags and the car companies were watching out for him too!

I like to see credit go to all those who deserve it :)

Airbags (front, side curtain, and all others) are a wonderous thing.

Wow! You truly are lucky that you came out of that the way you did! Thank God you are ok! I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

The tatoo on your neck says, "It's not a tragedy to die doing..." ..what? I imagine that it says "what you love" and I hope driving isn't something you love...

I have a 2001 Firebird WS6 with 400 HP/400 TQ and I love to drive.

thanks everyone. i made it through the night so that pretty much cancels out any unseen head injury. i was scared the docs had missed something and i would not wake up. like natasha richardson (r.i.p.)

and the back of my neck says its not a tragedy to die doing soething you love. the story behing it is i used to race motocross and during a race one day i came up short on a jump and hit the face of the landing it was like flying into a brick wall. i hit the ground hard enough with my head that it cracked my helmet knocked me out almost colapst a lung and for a few mins i could not feel my legs. i was scared to death. but once i recovered i was back on the track. the only thing that could stop me was when my wife said she was pregnant. and i said ok i have to slow down for my family. and when i was in that crash yeserday all i could think about was seeing my little girls giggling face again and getting to hold my wonderul wife. and thank god they were not with me.

So you've been lucky on a more than one occasion involving motored vehicles.

You should get a tatoo below that one that says, "The tragedy is leaving behind the ones you love".

lol true true

You got pretty lucky there man.

Funny how we all spend all this money and time on our herps and hobbies.

But when it comes down to fearing for your life or fear of dying, the only thing we can think about is whether or not we are going to get to see our families and wives faces again.

Hope you have a speedy recovery.

I hate coming up short on landing! I had a friend about 5 years ago I was riding with and he came up short and the spokes broke off the front tire and went into his knee.
