Lucky to be here!!!!

Bad news...
ill post pictures of my car in a day or two.

I was being "COOL" and racing...as the bend was comming around the tire blew out, that brings my car into a RailRoad Crossing sign.

Rips my door panel off (fiberglass) and my t-top totally off. All i came out with is a "slighty" cut ear.

For those of you that think street racing is "COOL" think again...just cause you may think you can drive "good and fast like a pro" DOES NOT mean you can actually do it. Im not saying im the best but ive had experience on courses.

I will not lie to you, life hits you hard after something like this happens..My head was within inches of being Sheared off...The T-top was ripped all the way off lock and all....

The after effects shows that this was not my time to die, so I know there is something for me to do here on this Earth. I will not preach to you..(I barely goto church)..But its never to late to thank the man upstairs for your life today. Mine was almost ended tonight.

Im now looking for a Driver Side T-Top for a 2000 Firebird. Any one willing to part let me know...

Thanks for reading,

Good thing your tire didnt blow at that speed.

You should probably watch what your doing from now on, goodluck with the car.

Re: Lucky to be here!!!!

its things like this that make the kill story section being shutdown a good thing. street racing is stupid. sucks you had to learn that the way you did but im sure that drove home the point.

sorry to hear dude, at least your okay and learned from it. the car can be replaced life cant.

Re: Lucky to be here!!!!

Mine can't be replaced no $$ ; ) Seriously though take it to the track, driving fast is fun and all but I think the few seconds of fun going fast would not compare the the tons of sex you can have later in your life if you drive the speed limit.

Goodyear Eagles...good condition...no curb

The car runs just the like it did 2 days ago.

Thanks guys for the replys...yea sucks I did have to learn that way...But I defiantly "DID" learn my lesson.

Time to teach other not to do it now....

Re: Lucky to be here!!!!

Wow, sorry to hear. Glad you're ok though. Best of luck with everything.

Re: Lucky to be here!!!!

The biggest thing is that you are ok. I think most of us are hard headed and learn the same way. My son totaled my first Firebird last Sept. He and his friend got a few stiches but nothing major. Last week he said he had to come straight with me, he was racing his friend. I told him I knew all along but was proud of him for comming clean. I guess the thing I'm happy about it that he learned what can happen with out taking some ones life.

Re: Lucky to be here!!!!

glad to hear you are ok. And whoever said life was important or anything more than that lied to you. Life sucks, be glad you are ok though, because life sucks even worse being handicapped, trust me.
