Default got ran off the road last night (amazing story)

Man last night was a bad night i was traveling down palmer ln here in austin texas when i got ran off the road in a ditch by a ford truck which are very common here in texas lol. I moved to the shoulder of the road thats when everything happens my rear tire hits a patch of grass and here i go sliding across the median onto on coming traffic im very blessed not to have flipped my car or anything else. I cant believe the body of my car does not have one scratch but on of the rims are bent in because a suspension part gave way but the rim is still straight with all tires still inflated not one scratch. So for the people that thought stern wheels broke easily think again i cant believe the rims didnt bend or anything simply amazing and no scratch on the car someone above was looking out for me yesterday. The only thing that needs to be fixed on the car is most likely some suspension parts and the airbag. I went flying across the median so fast my passanger window airbag deployed somehow from i guess the impact of just me sliding so fast sideways i spun 3 times before my car came to a hault. It just happened that phil or aka solidsnake on this forum was heading to work when he saw my car on the side of the road and gave me a call to make sure i was okay so that was cool. The scariest thing about the whole ordeal is that their is flowers literally 15 feet away from my car where someone flipped their car and died i was going to take a pic but it was just to frightening for me.

Wow glad to hear nothing bad happened to you or the car. That is scary, the flowers would have freaked me out too, and although I'm not religious I feel like whomever's they were seems to have been looking out for you

glad to hear you're alright. I've almost been run off the road by pickup trucks and moving vans. I think the moving vans just dont see me and sometimes the pickup trucks get mad when you try to pass them.
Pics?

Most likely because the redneck douchebags driving ford trucks in Texas don't know how to drive. Sorry not a fan of Texas drivers.
