Default 2 bad things

I got beat out of the 2002 z28 i was looking at. The dealership got it in at 6 last friday night, and told me to come up there at 10 saturday morning, and they would give me a final price, and i could take it or leave it. So i got there at 10 and some dumb *** was already signing the papers. The car was truly immaculant and didnt even last 16 hours before it was sold. It was a full slp car exhaust, intake, suspension, hurst shifter, everything it was nice. Well i saw it yesterday and the front was smashed in. What a waist of a good car they should have sold it to me.

Now for number 2. I wrecked my banshee Tuesday and broke my back.. It is only a 5% compression fracture though and a little peice of the vertibrae broke off. I got a concusion also, and cannot remember up to an hour after the wreck. I walked to a nearby daycare where my g/f works and she called my mom, my mom got there and called an ambulance. I guess all the kids were outside freaked out when they put me on a back board and took me to the hospital. They called me in as a priority 2 but then the doctor downgraded me to a 3 when he checked me out.

Hows that for a shitty week?

Dude that sucks. I would be pissed at that dealership, but of course most dealers/car salesman are douche bags anyways, and they don't give an eff about customer relationships, they just want to sell. Sucks even worse that some dummy got the car and just wanted to rip the tires off instead of being mature.

And that really sucks about your back!!! Hope everything gets straightened our for you and you recover quickly.

This is the second one that they have screwed me out of.

The doctor at the ER gave me a note to miss school and work, and all he did was signed his sig so i can fill it out and miss as much as i want. I dont even know how i wrecked, i was driving on this gravel road, and ther is a curve that i always slide sideways on, but this time i think i hit a patch of grass, but im not really sure. Im guessing it just fell on its side and slid because all that is broke it my handle bars, and my clutch lever. My mom took my helmet in to the ER, and there is a big gash out of it. The doc said if I wasnt where my helmet I would be dead. So if anyone drives bikes or quads wear your helmets!

The circled parts are where the fracture is, I think if you click it it gets bigger.
You cant hardly see the circle in the second pic its grey, i couldnt get any other color but grey to work.






That sucks about the ss dude that car would be really fast.
