how close to death were you?

coming back from the drag races and knew the road i was on was
a few miles long and straight i decided to see how fast my car would go, well got it up to 135 and THEN thought about trying to stop or make the curve at the end, well there was no way i was going to stop and i only had 2 options: 1. go though locked gate and into field or try to make tht turn. i tried to slow down enough to make the turn but 4 wheel drum brakes don't do much at that speed so as soon as i hit the turn my back end swung out and i slid into the canal luckily i had my seat belt on and didn't hit my head and i was able to get out of my car beofre it sunk. later i though that what if my seatbelt didn't open or if there was an alligator in there!!
