Default My Civic Vs black ice Vs Tractor Trailer (my friends there is no winner)

Well Friday I hit some black ice on 95 right before 295 on my way to New York (I never made it). I did like 3 360s before i was hit by a tractor trailer and then did about 4 more 360s before coming to a stop. My gf and I are both ok but a little sore. Thought I would share some photos. I miss my civic but I'm in the process of getting money from insurance company for civic i should get $3000 and they said they would cover all my suspension and stuff if i had reciepts and i do so im in the clear...i found a hatchback i might be getting ill keep you posted.

Dear lord! That is probably one of the worst side-impact accidents I have ever seen. Glad you and your girlfriend are ok. That is cool your insurance is going to cover the aftermarket parts for you. Good luck getting your new car

Yeah man im sad but im happy to be alive everyone said we shouldnt have survived the accident. Later we were told we only survived the accident because of the strut bars not letting the car crunch anymore...so im writing the company a letter of thanks. Please drive safe this winter guys i dont want to see any r.i.p. cars come in go at least im alive.

Good thing your still alive, cars can be replaced. Just get that camber problem fixed on the back tire and you will be good to go in no time.
