Car just had a 97 ls, I wasnt driving around like ricky bobby like I usually do an I dosed off, I was only about 1 minute from home. Somehow this is my 2nd roll over accident this year and somehow ive gotten out of both of them. 1st was a 90 DA that the rear tire came off the rim an caused me to lose control at 80 mph then I hit a boulder on the driver side from the molding down. I was able to crawl out of both cars myself, 1st accident broke my back this accident only left me with acouple scrapes on my arm an pretty sore. Safe driving out there everyone!

Darwin is knocking on your door it seems.

Why don't you stay off the streets until you can learn how to drive and/or know when not to drive? You're not the only one on them, you know.

Glad you're ok, but be careful with your next car. These hatchbacks are hard to find these days.

These things are nothing but tin-cans. They crumple just like them.

Nice wheel lift.
Just like a pro!


Hit me up if you want to buy a new antenna.
I see yours is a little bent.

This thread is wrong on so many levels, besides the fact it has "zero" tech in it

There is nothing to be proud of writing off a car, then posting pics as something to be proud of, just because by fluke you survived without major injury. If it turned out any other way, you'd have a different attitude about it, and when you are older (if you make it that far), you will give your head a big shake and wonder WTF you were thinking

How the **** did you survive? I honestly would NOT leave my house if I were you. Darwin is definitely doing his work.

I feel like if I hit ANYTHING in my hatch above 25mph I'd die. Or at the very least bruise the **** out of my ribs and probably a pneumothorax.

P.S. They make tracks for a reason, use them. If you're tired, AT THE VERY LEAST, pull over and nap. I ride my bike a lot too, I'm not wanting to get hit by some idiot.


EDIT:

Favorite quote so far this thread

Sh*t, even the bigger Civics (7th-9th gens) aren't any better. A couple years ago in downtown a drunk in a 7th gen going about 50mph hit another 7th gen that was stopped at a light, killing both occupants of the car that was hit. She buried that thing under their car.

When I wrecked my EF (back in '93) I caught a glancing blow from an oncoming Olds. It sheared everything away from the middle of the bumper to about 6 inches down the driver's door. Including ripping the footwell right out from under me. I was bruised (and very lucky) but my friend in the passenger seat broke his leg and 3 ribs.

I just can't bring myself to get another EF because of the safety factor. Especially living in the truck capital of the world.
