Holy crap Unit.....I would have ****......

I posted about my wreck on here a while back....but just for the hell of it I'll post it again...

It was about 12:15, on August 8th of this year. I was leaving my cousin's house with 2 of my friends....There is a hill with an S curve on it that we had to go down. I idled it all the way down the hill....going about 15 or 20 (speed limit 25)....I got about 2/3s of the way through the last turn, which was about a 45 degree curve to the left...I got on it a little bit, didn't floor it or anything, probably about 1/2 throttle, maybe.....Got up to about 25-30 and the butt end just came around, spun about 90 degrees, slid for a ways.....hit the opposite curb with the front right wheel, the back end whipped around even more then, and the whole car went up the curb about 150 degrees from the normal direction....after it went up the curb there was about a foot raise of dirt, the right side tires caught in the dirt....the driver's side tipped up, stalled, then just "gently" rolled onto it's top...


Here's the weird part....I ended up underneath the passenger seat, and the guy originally in the passenger seat ended up underneat the driver's seat....he kicked the driver's side door open, and we all crawled out of it....I called the police station right away....a girl drove by and saw the car and saw him, and his hand was covered in blood. She took him to the hospital and he got 17 stitches.

Me and the other passenger didn't have any injuries. I just had some cuts on my back from glass and he had a bruise on his shoulder.

I accept TOTAL responsibility for it. I knew I wasn't driving right...although if it would have been 2 days earlier, nothing at all would have happened....

That road was just "armor chipped" the day before.....The City Crew lays down a coating of tar and then spreads small rocks on it, they are about the size of marbles. It's a lot looser than even gravel. I did not drive right for the road conditions, I know that.

I did hate it when they City Crew did that to the roads, mainly because the rocks flew up and were a danger to my paint job! Now I just hate it for an additional reason.

I never thought I'd wreck that car. Ever. I never got a ticket. I only got pulled over twice. Both for stupid reasons. The first was because this girl, who is in my grade, had just turned 16 that day and was driving around. Some girl that doesn't like her called to the PD and said there was someone driving around a yellow Mustang that was under age. Well this girl had just gotten a '00 Mustang (V6).....but the cop saw ME first, so he pulled ME over...he checked my license and realized I was 16 and said sorry and left...

The second time was because I had my parking lights on, with out my headlights, at about 6 in the evening in the summer. It was still VERY light out, so I didn't need my headlights. And I didn't think it was illegal to drive with your parking lights, because I've seen a ton of people do it. And for some odd reason, that night I just felt like turning them on, just for sh!ts and giggles. Well I get pulled over by a State Trooper...tells me it's illegal because people might think your car is parked.....ok that's cool...just gives me a written warning no big deal....But I bet you anything if I wouldn't have been driving a nice, loud, bright yellow old Mustang I would never have gotten pulled over for it....Oh well...no ticket no fine no biggy.....

That was really long....holy crap....I'm sorry...I ALWAYS do that to you guys.....SORRY!!!!
