Default My new birthday is May 4th............

so sunday morning at about 5 am i was headed to my parents house to grab some breakfast and attend church services. i was on the i10 westbound and didnt notice a huge construction dirt truck. the taillights were either not working or really really dim. plus im sure he was going at a slow 50 mph speed while i was traveleing at my usual 75 mph speed on the fwy.

anyways long story short, i collided with him and my car is totalled. i am lucky to be alive and whats more amazing is i wasnt even hurt. all i suffered was a piece of glass got stuck in my left foot, got a burn mark on my neck from the seat beat and minor chest pains when i breath hard. cars can be replaced, lives cannot so im counting my blessings.

it was a great 2.5 years i spent here on the forums. alot of you guys were helpful and some butted heads but i have to say this was one of the most enjoyable car forums i have been a part of.

thanks for those who pmmed me yesterday and today with well wishes. and without further adieu, heres my baby that saved my life.

I'm glad your ok. That Z of yours took one hard hit. But from looking at it, it saved your life. The passenger cabin held up great. I hope you will continue driving a Z in the future. Again, its good to see your ok. Be safe.

Like you said Gimp... a car is a thing that can be replaced... You can not be. We're all glad you are okay... I hope you don't leave the forum, even though I'm a newbie compared to you, I've seen your posts, and believe you are valuable to the forum.
