About 90 into a telephone poll, I was going down a road with a bunch of fun turns a little over 100, and one of the turns was wet. That was the 4th time I made that run at those speeds too

Unfortunatley if you have no witnesses, and he says its your fault, and you say its his fault, the insurance will most likely say half your fault, half his because its your word against his and neither of you can really prove anything.
See, camaro's are safe cars, yours flipped over and he probably just has a bunch of dents down the side of his car.

Yeah Pyro, when you had your wreck, you just got a few dents down the side....

Sorry bout the crash, but still good that it's all his fault.

He said you were racing a Neon against a Camaro? The officer should have written him for DWS!!! Driving while stupid!

[sk8dood]

pyro did you walk out of it or did you have a couple of broken bones?

[PyRo]

Yeah with the witnesses you shouldn't have to worry about any insurance increases. I just hope they give you what your car is worth, insurance companies have this habit of not paying nearly what you did for the car.
As for the damage to my camaro, I think my accident was a little differant from his
I would like to see someone try and flip my car, it would take alot of effort

I had a very small cut on my hand because the side window shattared and I climbed out because the door wouldn't open, and a bruise on my ankle from a maglite I had next to my seat. Other than that I was fine.

That sucks. Just 30mins ago I almost hit someone who happened to be in my blind spot. I needed to change lanes and couldn't see em until I was halfway into their lane. The little 10yr old in the back seat gave me the finger.

If you are going to get into a car accident and walk away with minor/no injuries, rolling it is the way to go. That gets your the most bang for your buck. There aren't many accident stories that can top rolling a car.

As long as everyone is ok, its the coolest way to trash a car

I have done the whole car in the blind spot thing. I was going like 70-75 on CC and passed this little grey honda something and continued to drive. I had to get over because of merging traffic so I quick checked my mirrors hit the turn signal to get over and all of the sudden saw the hood of that stupid little honda by my door which freaked me out a little considering how close it was and I jerked the wheel to the right real quick hit a little rain soaked patch of pavement and did a clockwise 720 while moving to the left and onto the median (big grass hill in this case) I got control when I hit the grass (oddly enough) and got it pointed forward and put it in park scarey as <B>*POOF*</B>. I missed every single freaking car on the road. The ony negative side effect was I had to drive home with a ton a grass and mud on one side of my car and finger nail marks on my arm where my gf grabbed me which I didnt notice until later. 3 vehicals stopped and helped push me back on the shoulder. Then I went and got lunch. Man I love cars with low centers of gravity on them

I was driving a Suburban in snow at about 60, in 2WD (yeh, stupid hurt), went into a maple tree with the right front corner, then the left rear corner hit the next tree, skidded it across the road, off the ditch (six foot drop) into the field, took out a smaller tree and came to a stop

Windshield touching hood
Radiator touching firewall
Transfer case blown apart when the front driveshaft was shoved bak through it
Two foot bend in frame
And insurance wouldnt beleive me when I told them it was totalle.

Walked away, big gash on my head, kids were perfectly fine... was glad it was a Suburban

Well, if we're going for accident stories, I think I got you all beat.

Last April, during spring break, my dad and I went from SoCal to Utah to pick up a junker car to salvage parts off of. We took our GMC Safari with my dad's car carrier trailer, and made it there, 2 days driving like 16+ hours a day. Got the car, loaded it up, and the next morning headed home. We were just on our way out of Utah, maybe 50ish miles to the border, when a whole bunch of things happened at the same time.

We were in a canyon, and didn't realize the wind outside was 30 mph+. SO when we exited the canyon, the trailer was immediately hit by the wind. At the same time, I spilled a double gulp of mountain dew onto the floor, and took of my seatbelt to clean up the spill. The trailer started to slide out form behind the car, and the two driver side wheels collapsed inward. The trailer then proceded to skid around and clip the driver's side of the van.

At this point, I'm trying to put my seatbelt back on, but cannot, because the brakes are on. The van and trailer go from 70 mph down the road to about 55 mph sliding sideways. The van leaves the ground, landing directly upside-down, blowing out all windows, and contines to slide. I somehow manage to hold onto my seat by wrapping my arm around the arm-rest.

The van flips and additonal 2 times (I think.) As it is rolling off the road, I am thrown out the passenger window, and fly a good 50-60 feet through the air before hitting the ground off the shoulder, and somehow remaining concious. The van stops against a barbed wire fence, and the trailer is a good hundred feet away. I stand up, and looked quite dazedly at a 1/4 mile spread of debris, an upside-down trailer and car, and a (now burning) van. I run over, help my dad out, and walk back to the highway.

Long story short: 27 stiyches and 6 hours later, me and my dad leave hte hospital with literally nothing. No ID, no clothes, I don't even have shoes. The local sheriff somehow manages to find my dad's unburned wallet, and after a night at a motel, we drive home in a rented U-Haul with a couple tons of car parts inside.

Sorry no pics, the camera burned up, along with just about everything else. I do still have my bloody clothes, part of my wallet, and some beautiful scars just about everywhere from the event.

Wow, that gave me the willies, like CRAZY...
