Damn, everyone on here is awesome... I appreciate the support, I just got home and wrote about it on myspace. I'll copy paste it here.
I've heard there are rumors flying around about a bad drug deal or someone shot me over a race.
Well here's the story

After leaving the track Sunday night I left my car parked at Meeko's moms house which is on Haude Rd. Every Tue night there's usually some sort of car meet somewhere around northhouston. I called Meeko around 8:30pm TUe night to get the keys from him so I could go pick up my car from his moms house. 9:30 I dropped off my integra at his moms and jumped in my camaro to go meet up with everyone. As I was pulling out of the drive way onto Haude Rd I remembered that I had taken the air filter out at the track so I pulled over at the school to put it back in. After doing so I figured why not heat up the nitrous before I get out there just incase someone wants to have fun. As I was heating the nitrous bottle some dude rolled up on me and told me to get in the car and drive. Being that I was in spring texas I was like "are you ****** kidding me?" The guy was wearing some shitty clothes, a hooded shirt, and had his hands inside of his shirt holding the gun "at the time I thought it was fake". When I realized the dude was for real I thought I'd take my chances that the gun inside his shirt was his fingers so I burnt the **** outta his face with the map gas I was using to heat the bottle. His reaction was obviously to pull the trigger, the first shot hit me in the chest, I didn't even feel it, he fired several more shots one of em hitting me in the back... THAT pissed me off, I chased after him for a second then it was sunk in that the ****** shot me.... I walked back to my car with the intentions of running the bastard over... I felt under my shirt to see if I was hit and I felt the blood runnign down my stomach, I called 911 and about 20 cops showed up and didn't believe a word I said... They even told my dad that "those kinda people don't hang out around here".....

So, I'm out of the hospital 200 x-rays later and I'm fine. The bullet stopped 1cm from my heart and punctured the lower part of one of my lungs. So all in all, I'm lucky and glad to be alive..

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT I RECIEVED..

LOVE YOU ALL

MEEKO AND CRYSTAL ARE THE BEST!!!!

That just pisses me off that cops would say that!!

I felt kinda funny after reading the article posted up when it said that there were holes in the story. I am glad you are doing well, and hope you have a speedy recovery. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

I am ver glad to hear you made it out ok, some people don't get that lucky!

Get well soon,

Damn! Glad your ok, and hope for a speedy recovery soon. The story is believable, I don't know why the police would question that. The ******* media can blow some **** out of porportion just to get a rise off a story. This **** is getting all too fimiliar in Houston these days : shootings, carjackings, home invasions, burglaries, murders, etc.... makes me wanna take a gun everywhere I go.

I'm really glad you're okay. I live at the very next neighborhood and I can't count how many times i've stopped here and there to edit something in hptuners. I always try to look around but you still don't see that coming on louetta. I'm usually more concerned that a cop is going to come harass me. (You got shot and they still were being their normal selves)

So it sounds like you came out without any permanent back injuries also?

I agree with GTO JIMMY - you might be superman and just not know it

I was concerned about a cop... there's usually a Klien cop that chills out there, who also lives down the street from my house here at Tomball... the guy didn't startled me because I was almost expecting to see the cop... there's a church right down the road that was letting out and a neighborhood that I've gotta couple friends that live in.... I honestly thought for the first 20 seconds that it was one of my friends who saw me on Louetta and was ****** with me... when he jabbed the gun into my side is when I realized this ***** real.

lol **** that you have a gun in your face and see what you do. I was robbed a few years back right when I say the gun I slid my watch off and tossed them my wallet. They came up from behind me even if I was armed they had the jump and there was two of them.
