I'll go first. . .

2006 Scion tC wide rims, lowered about 2 inches, sway bars, upgraded suspension, etcetera. . .Coming back from KC, MO on I-35 heading North. In the left lane doing about 70 (yes that's the limit) waiting for a semi to pass another one and move over so I can go around. All of a sudden it kicks out a half tread as well as a full tread. I moved over as much as I could, but there really isn't any shoulder. The tire got lodged up under the rear of the car, sent me into a skid. The wife said that I got the car pointed the right direction on the interstate as we slid, but momentum carried us off the road. Front driver's wheel catches in the dirt, up on the nose bounce on drivers side, flip 2-3 more times and land on the roof about 30 feet down in the ditch. Amazingly i had some cuts on my head from glass and a swollen knee, the wife had a couple of cracked ribs (we are pretty sure from when we landed on the driver's side I went into the door/window, she went into the armrest). We were upside down, unbuckled and crawled out. . . .thanking god everyday that we didn't get hurt worse and are alive.

Now for the pictures:

when deer A traveling at speed X and bonerville B traveling at speed X^2 converge at a 90 degree angle, the outcome is displayed as A(x)+B(x^2) = F#%K

That's a nasty one. deft...was she totalled? eddies is bad too...but i've seen it before ;D

I'll have to find the pics of my totalled Ford Tempo from a few years back...it was pretty bad (and not my fault). I also got T-boned in my 93 Bonneville SSE which ended up totalled (again, not my fault). However, i totalled my fathers '93 Park Avenue by rear ending a late-80s cutlass. That car had horrible struts in the front and it dipped down so low that there was minimal damage to the cutlass but tons of damage to the Park Ave.

This is not mine, but worth sharing anyway. I saw it on my way to work last year some time:



DAYUMN!!!!!!

My first 2002 Monte Carlo SS with the sports package. Anyways i was turning left and the arrow was green and a van went threw the middle lane and slammed into me doing 50+





This is my 2006 Monte Carlo SS i was T-boned on the same road by a yukon that had a 10inch lift kit it almost ran completly over my car. 32 thousand dollars to repair the damage. The body shop shafted the insurance company slowly to get mroe buisness instead of replacing my car.



Just a few weeks ago i hit a deer but i didn't get pictures. I just got the car back from the body shop took about 3 days replaced the right fender and the headlight heres the pictures as she is today

Eddie, did you try to find out what company that truck was from? Did the driver even realize what his truck did to you???

No idea. . .all I remember is that it was white. Cops ran down the road trying to find him including checking truck stops. . . figuring he might stop with two blow outs. No one was found though, so it ended up on my insurance. They tried to jack up my rates then (Allied) so I switched companies.

Raining cats and dogs. Wife driving GTO with our 9 year old. Me driving 80 chevy 4x4 with our 5 year old, about 1/8th mile in front of her. All of a sudden I lose her head lights in the rear view. My phone rings, I answer are you ok?! She screams and starts crying. I ask is Steven ok? She answers just HURRY oh please God HURRY! and the phone goes dead!The sickest feeling ever felt in my life!!!! I turn around and hall *** back to them to find them upside down in a flooded yard and the car flat! I bust down through the ditch in my truck, run to the car to THANK GOD, hear them both talking, crying, but alive. With help I pry open the drivers side door and they crawl out. Wife broke her collar bone and son only had a splinter from the tree(1/4 in dia) stuck in his face with some chipped teeth and a beat up face. Too much horsepower(should have left it stock) and not enough traction. She hydroplayned, lost it, hit the ditch, flipped on her side, bounced off the tree with the roof(at back seats)and landed upside down. Someone was definitley watching out for them!
