Default RIP 01 Vert

Unfortunately, people on the highways and roads these days do not know how to drive, and many should be run over by their own terrible driving skills. I was on the Garden State Parkway last weekend and some ******* cut into my lane fishtailing me into the concrete wall at 70mph. I was not doing any crazy stunt and was just 5mph over the speed limit. I saw my life flash before my eyes as I watched me and my car slam against one barrier then another. The other guy didnt have any noticable damage. My beautiful mustang is destroyed, and he barely got a ****ing scratch. When I get pics I will post, but it doesnt look good. Even though I lost my stang I am glad to be alive, and will never drive without a seatbelt again as it saved my life. I sustainedonly minor(hopefully I dont have a ruptured disc but im checking that out today)back and neck injuries. I know people thinkseatbelts are uncomfortable and whatnot, believe me IWAS one of those people. But by whatever miracle it was I had mine on at the time of the accident, andif I had not I surely wouldnt be sitting here typing this.A car, as much asyou may love it, can be rebuilt or replaced, but your life cannot. Thanks for listening to me vent, and hopefully soon I will have another mustang and will post pics when I get. Take care. -Nick

+1. I got t-boned last thursday on my way to go pick up a new engine for my car when someone came blowing off of a side road and never hit the brakes. They trashed my grandpa's GMC Sierra that didn't have a scratch on it, and come to find out the car they hit me with was a rental, and they didn't get insurance or something. SO i'm thinking "ok, it'll be turned in on their personal insurance". well wouldn't ya know they don't have any. They actually told the cop they didn't know they had to stop at the stop sign. Seems like stupid drivers are blooming all over the place these days.

people are rediculous these days. First they don't know how to drive, and then don't want to be held responsible when they end up hurting someone and their property. [:@]

I pray that I don't end up in a situation like that because it would be so hard not to smash that person in the teeth.

It was a miracle I didnt. I guess I was in shock
