Rule number 1 don't drive like an idiot in the rain with a V8 sports car. I learned the hard way and it sounds like you did too.

Rule number two, it's never necessary to have one long cluster-**** run on sentence as seen above .

God didn't save you, he spared the lives of any innocent people around you from the ****** idiot behind the wheel of a decent powered vehicle who thought it was a good idea to lay into the throttle in the rain.

What you should have said was "Darwin didn't get me today".
You live and learn though man, had it not been for your innate stupidity you would still be driving that car and saving insurance and repair money. Lesson learned.

You almost *destroyed* your car...

"Salvaged" means 'saved' or 'recovered'....

but I hope it's ok!

Gotta respect the car for what it is, hope you learned that leaving hard in the rain is not good and your car doesn't need alot of work.

Wanna know the scary part about you driving for 10 years?
It means you're at least 25 and still have the grammatical skill of a "Ruhtard".
Kidding...but seriously, that **** is painful.

I would rather smash my dick with a tack hammer than have to undergo the agony of reading another one of your incoherent ramblings.

Oh and you can't drive, hence the thread.

You've been attempting english for the past 25 years and you still suck at it, so I'm not sure 40 years behind the wheel is enough for you.

This.. If you keep it straight 100% of the time you won't ever know what to do it when she gets away from you at 60mph..

Sometimes I freak out when I'm going straight and have to remind myself it is ok not to be going down the road sideways in a smoke show.
