bad f'n night/near death
I let a drive my car last night, and he deiced to get throttle happy. Well he ended up putting us into the woods at 70+mph after hitting a wet spot...The car cut down 2 trees and wrapped around a third tree
broken nose, fractured nasal bone, sinus bleeding, head trauma, lacerations to the head, arms and legs.
I'll have pics of the poor car tomorrow.

I'll say this to every person...its easy to forget the smell of a late summer rain...or how privileged we all are, to have people to talk to, to have each other, and to just make it to the next moment alive. I came closer to death than I ever expected. I was passed out in that car for over an hour. At this point I feel so privileged just to be breathing right now. Few of you can understand this on the level I now do...and I hope to God the rest of you never will have to. All I'm saying is live every moment as if it was your last, pass up no opportunity and live with out regret. You never know when somebody else's mistake can end you. I was uncontentious for an hour and 20min, and nearly drown to death on my own blood. I feel like I have been given a second chance to live my life righteously and to make the right decisions. I don't care how retarded it may sound, but this morning events have changed me forever. I hope all you young one take this, a stupid mistake, as a lesson and I hope you never have to go through what I am now

no not really...minor concussion, cut on his leg, and a 86 bird wheel in his chest. the driver is doing good.....when I came to he was hunched over with blood running down his face. I thought he was dead...I can't get the image out of my mind. that was the single worst part. such a gruesome scene, neither on of us should be alive.

Dam! Glad to hear you guys are not worse off. It doesn't take much in bad conditions with these cars so you really have to pay attention all the time. My drive home from the Nats was interesting in the rain. Just letting the clutch out would cause the rear to spin and kick out. Hope you get better soon but I have a bad feeling about that nasal injury. Good luck!

Mike it might, the police were threating to blame me as the driver because he wasn't with the car when they got there. The office was in my face calling me a liar and as I'm trying to explain what happened he kept telling me to shut up...the they didn't even take BAC or blood work from either one of us at the hospital, nor did they breath test us. So I think he may have screwed up. As far as recovery I've always been a fast healer so i should be good within the month

sneezing will definitely hurt a LOT, I really hope you won't have to. Mike or any law enforcement, can you shine a little light on what can happen, since the police are trying to blame bubba? does he have to prove he wasn't driving to them? what kind of recourse does he have?
I really hope you have a full and fast recovery.
BTW, i just sneezed for you. you don't have to.

the cop showed up and issued me an inspection ticket and a seat belt ticket...apparently I wasn't wearing it. my buddy is in deep **** though. I'm actually going to go to court with him to try to help him out. I'm not at liberty to discuss the charges at this time so please don't ask

i know what its like to lose a car to not your fault whatsoever, sucks big time
also know what its like to a broken nose lol...the nose will heal with time, plan on sleeping on your back for quite some time though 
but good luck with the recovery and hopefully legalities dont screw you over too bad...have you been in contact with your insurance company?
