SSJ5 Vegeta Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Has anyone ever been in a car crash? This summer was a bad summer for car crashes. My friends brother died in a car wreck when an SUV hydroplaned into him after losing control on a wet road and hit him head on. I wrecked my car too. I was going around a corner and hit something and my right front blew out. There was nothing I could do my car went straight into the ditch. Then I froze up and tried to hit the brake and accidentally hit the gas again, (a common mistake) and hit this bank and flew threw the air. When I came down the airbag got me right in the face. It sucked. I also had 4 friends in the car. We all spent a night in the hospital and walked away the next day untouched. Then about a week ago 2 of my friends got into a wreck and one of them fractured his spine in his neck and tore ligaments in his back, but he's not paralyzed thank god, he just has to wear a neck brace for 6 months.

Lady Macaiodh Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]lol, i got in a really messed up crash this summer. it was about one in the morning & my friend was driving me home. we were on a main road that goes right past the state prison. then this deer jumped in front of us & this is the messed up part. my friend drives a porche & he didn't want to hit it, so he swerved into this hugely steep embankment like a dumbass & still hit the deer anyway. but the car completely lost control & we did 3 360s, ending up in the opposite ditch facing the opposite direction w/ the front wheels in the air. then he just left me there right next to the prison to go to a pay phone for about 2 hours b/c he didn't have any insurance & he wanted me to watch the car & keep the cops from showing up. i was so mad b/c i already have a phobia about cars & he just left me to be killed by some escaped rapist.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 yeah, once i was in a car while it was overheating. we stopped it, right before it, er, would've blown up. of course, that car got sold., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]I'm thankful that I haven't gotten into a car crash ever since I got my license 2 years ago...I think one of my close friends dying in one influenced me a lot. I've been really careful since then...but still, I drive a car that has the ability to go past 100MPH in a matter of seconds, add that with driving around in California's most hostile freeways I've gotten into my share of close calls...[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I've never personally been in a real accident. I only got my first ticket last month, after driving for well over 3 years. My stepfather got into an accident though. He was driving a full dressed Harley he owns. It was wet out, some car cut him off and he wasn't able to stop in time. I guess he rammed into the car and flew over it. The bike was totalled. He smashed his arm, they had to put a metal rod in it so it would get back to mormal. The guy who cut him off claimed full responsibilty... The bike now looks like it used to, and his arm seems back to normal. The only thing was that he missed a lot of work because of it. He was on his way to work, but not actually on the clock yet... so he didn't get ANY compensation for it. I don't know any of the details with all that though. My family has bad luck with that stuff. My biological dad died driving a motorcycle. Several family friends have gotten in accidents as well. That's what you get when your immediate family and their friends mostly consist of bikers lol. Most of my family won't even let me ride a motorcycle because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 No car crashes for me. The only thing I can say is that my aunt hit a lightpole and inploded her passenger side door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiboshi Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I've never been in a car [i]crash[/i] before, but my best friend's brother got into a really bad one the last week of school last school year. (4 months ago, maybe?) All the roads were wet since it was raining all day, and he was coming into the neighborhood when his car slipped on the road and he lost control jumping the curb going into the grassy area next to it, and the car spun sideway, then literally got wrapped around a tree. He was 16, and his car had no airbag. He went into the hospital, and although he didn't break any bones, he got some really bad injuries, and his brain started swelling. He was unconcious for about 3 weeks, then he had to go to physical therapy all summer, and now he's in school again, but he can't quite walk normal yet.

Semjaza Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I know of some commercially available cars that can go from 0 to 60 in a few seconds, but I can't honestly think of any that can hit 100 in that amount of time. Edit--- I also meant affordable lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorykoAngelcry Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]Car accidents. . Hmm, thankfully I have not been in an accident in about a year, and even then, it was not really with anyone else. I HAVE been in quite a few though. . but let's not get into those. My last one was with my Olds. Achieva. I was driving to the mall on my lunch break to visit an old. . friend. . and had to run to get lunch and run some errands. Anyways - I was driving around a normal turn and slipped out of control, overcompensated, hopped a curb and slammed into a tree. Now before you think I am that messed up, allow me to elaborate: 1) My back tires were almost bare, and the brakes were shot. I spent $1,000 alone on the front brakes and tires, but they decided to wait on the rear tires *sigh* 2) It was raining, and cold enough where there was ice on the road. I didn't realize that until I started to lose control. 3) I was actually going the SPEED LIMIT! Just goes to show myself whenever I do the right thing, nothing goes right. . lol Oh well. . now I am driving a Saturn (I love my Saturn) which has it's own problems, but will work for me I guess =) *sigh* I did get the rest of the day off of work, as well as the next day. On a slightly more frightening note - I didn't have insurance, and when I hit the tree (sideways I might add) my neck sort of bobbled left and right. . I was afraid I would have gotten whiplash, but there really wasn't anything I could have done. Thank God I didn't get hurt. That would have been bad for me. . . I suppose that just means another notch/ another car under my belt ^_^[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 [color=royalblue]The McLaren F1 is the fastest commercially available car in the world...and it can reach 100 KM/H in 3.2 seconds or so. So I do'nt know what that is in miles lol...but it'd have to break the 6 second to 100 miles mark. o_O Though "matter of seconds" could be anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds...so yeah.

PiroMunkie Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 [color=indigo]I've never been in a crash, but I know someone who has. The guy popped some LSD and decided to drive somewhere. He hit mutliple things before he finally stopped. Luckily no one was seriously hurt.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SSJ5 Vegeta [/i] [B]Sweet. What kind of car is it? [/B][/QUOTE] It's an Acura 3.2TL...and it has a few mods in it. I don't test it out with a clock or anything, but it constantly hovers around that speed and it really picks up if I push it in the freeway. Others who own the same car say 0-100 is around 12 seconds...which is still quite fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs like 600 hp. 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, it runs the 1/4 mile in 9.75 seconds, it's got optional push button AWD if you take it off it's just front wheel drive. It's got a 40 lb tank of NOS that dumps 400 hp every time you hit the button, it hit's 210 miles per hour in final gear without even getting near the redline mark. He said one time he was doing 210 and he hit the NOS and his speedometer needle spun all the way back around to the 70 mph mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
