Well I just found out on the news that from the wreck on I-75 last night that I barely avoided, 2 people died as a result of that massive crash.


What a bummer.

i lent my buddy my van while i was away on spring break..... some moronic 18 yr old kid ran a light and kaboom..... my van is totalled.....


so i returned last sunday to ottawa to find out i had no way to commute from home to shcool..... so i had to temporarily move into residence with my GF until my insurance company stops being douche bags and pays up....

Damn dude, that really suckx.

I have seen far too many ( even seen people I know dead at the side of the road) I have been in afew nasty ones mostly because of falling sleep at the wheel.

Been in a coma for 5 days due to sleeping at the wheel, flipped 3 times then hit a brick wall another time (but drove home after on 1 engine mount and a cracked rim)

Thankfully haven't seen/been in anything serious at all in the 2 and a half years i've been in the road. But came close loooooots of times.

Biggest scare: going home in a fairly empty road, i see a van stopped by the side. I don't give it any importance and blitz through, only for a 7 year old girl to suddenly come out running out of the van, crossing the street, right the same time as i'm going flat out by it, unable to react fast enough. BAM! I brake the car asap, to find the kid totally stunned but completely allright - only the doll she was holding in her hands had been totally destroyed by my car! Another split second and I would've killed her.

I did once run over a dog going flat out in the freeway though, lol. I was dumb enough to brake hard as soon as I saw it (thankfully there wasn't any car behind me), but couldn't avoid it. I was really shaked that day!

i've scratched paint while sleeping at the wheel. wasn't too big, i gave them $100 and they never said anything
one time i went all the way across a major street into oncoming and grinded the sidewalk, woke up and corrected. but it was like 4am and nobody was on the road, thank god.

never seen any big accidents, almost got totally h4xed one night though while working delivery
so right on campus (bad driver center, i swear its as bad as boston), i'm coming up to a four way stop
both streets are straight, no big bushes or anything on the corners, so its normally a nice easy fast moving 4-way stop
so its my turn after like 2 cars, and i look left, look right, look left and as i'm moving my head back from looking left i start to go
fucking LUCKY for me i'm a paranoid driver so i always check right as i'm about to go across the right lane and sure enough in my peripheral vision i see something flying towards me so i just slammed the brakes and hoped they were gonna miss me
car full of girls going about 50 (30mph zone for a reason, its a neighborhood with a lot of kids), didn't see the stop sign, didn't even look once
i could feel my car shaking as they flew by me, probably no more than 2 inches from clipping me, not to mention probably killing the driver cause it didn't look like she was belted
that was one of the few times i just sat in the middle of an intersection not moving and no one cared or honked or anything
scared the shit outta me

This was my turbo civic... short nap and 3 flips later, we have this.


Buddy of mine and myself taking off the turbo kit before insurance came to see the car.


This was my sir, I hit a piller sideways while sleeping (hit directly on the drivers door sending my head out the window onto it thus putting me in a 5 day coma.)


Both accidents were between 3:30 am and 5 am right after work, then a bar or two.. but not drinking as much as I used to at the time. Lesson learnt, sleep is important, don't pul 2-3 days without sleep then continue with your hectic lifestyle.

One of the worst ones was a 100+ car pile up on the NJ Turnpike a couple of years ago while I was down visiting my cousins.

Then this year I saw a car hanging off the rail of the Gardener Expressway.

Couple years ago I saw a 6 car pile up with a few cars on their side, some others completely upside down.


I've almost been hit head on by people trying to pass. (fucking idiots)

A year or so ago I was terrorized by an 18wheeler during a blizzard. He kept coming up on the right, then coming all the way into the left where I was. I couldn't see shit from the spray, couldn't slow down cuz the car behind probably couldnt see me or anything else either. Couldn't speed up cuz the roads were pure ice. This went on for about half an hour until the douchebag finally got off the highway.
