Default Flipped and wrecked the car....fun while it lasted

im going through some really tough **** at college right now between class and fraternity stuff and to top it off i just wrecked the impala. literally fell asleep driving down a 2 lane road, drove up the side of the road, hit a tree, and flipped the car onto the roof into oncoming traffic. i walked away from the crash with literally one bruise. if i have to say anything i love that car even more now since it saved my life. wish it didnt happen but what can i do. i just wanted to thank everyone for answering all my questions and helping when they could, i really learned alot about cars in general from this forum. no clue what the new car is gunna be, hopefully something fast.

You're lucky to have made it out without being seriously hurt. Where are you going to school at?

Cars can be replaced, you can't! Glad you're all right.

guys/gals did you remember how safe our 2008 ss v8's and newer are ! 5 stars for front and passenger ! 5 stars for side crash/ front seats ! rollover 4 stars ! if you add in 2008 and newer stabilitrak-stability control [it has saved me at least twice] ! -- xxmerc1914xx- glad your ok !! if you had newer model maybe not have crashed, at all ? so maybe our ls4 chevys are not to bad a impala ,at least safety wise ? might be safest impala so far ? now if gm can come back and replace our bad trannys /no charge, with a 6 speed auto ? dont think thats going to happen ! rkvette

It's just a car, you walked away and that's what matters.
