Well, here's the story


The SPEEDY

Recommended Posts

I sold it, but I sold it for parts after i totaled it. Made some pretty stupid decisions and rolled it over in a ditch. Had the typical it can't happen to me, I'm invincible teenage attatude. So that pretty much explains it all for now. I guess I'm hopeing someone will learn from my mistake.

 

So here are the pics of what was left.

 

BTW: I really don't want to hear the usual "thats what happens when stupid parents buy their kids cars they aren't mature enough to have", because I bought that car with my own money, and I was paying for the insurance too.

D@mn dude, glad you are OK. Looking at that car, it's hard to see how you made it out without serious injury.

 

Sorry to hear it though. :)

I know it rolled at least 3 times. I didn't have a single broken bone, never lost constiusness (sp?), and only had to get about 8 stitches on the back of my head. The car stopped on it's top, and I just crawled out, realized it was still running and reached in to turn it off. All i can say is that seat belts work, can't say that firebird seats have the best seat belts (blet goes through the head rest, and the head rest came out of the seat when it rolled) but it did it's job.

After seeing the pics and reading your follow-up, I'm glad that stitches were the only thing you recieved in the way of injuries. Looks to me like someone was looking out for you. :thumbs:

 

And good luck with the future car, if you decide to get another "Fox Body". Hope it returns to you the same way....without the same ending.

Thanks guys, not really worried about getting another one right now, just glad to be here. Still have lots of stuff I have to take care of now before that can happen anyway. To tell you the truth it was a lesson I needed to learn, something I will never forget.

Glad you're ok. We all make bad judgement calls from time to time. It appears that the beams in the doors stayed put, but the roofline took most of the abuse. Makes sense for it rolling.

Glad you're OK. The wife and I were in a rollover back when

we were dating. We weren't scared till we got out and saw

the car.

 

They make new cars every day. God only made one of you. :thumbs:
