that blue two is gorgeous!

I don't have any crash pics, but seem to have bad luck as far as almost getting in accidents. It's like my car is bad luck, so many times people have turned onto the street right in front of me without looking! I almost always put my lights on when i'm in the city just so people can see me better, but still they don't, it's screwed up.

I had an old granny driving a van almost side swipe me (by almost i mean inches away as a yanked it onto the shoulder) as she did a left turn onto a two lane road, but took it super wide. I thought she was stopping in the middle, saw her look right at me and then, HOLY S***!

We did...we just waited because we had a large group, and i got split in half with cars in front of the accident who didn't see it and kept going for like 5 min before realizing that people were missing, and this pic was taken just after they had gotten back so people were still kinda checkin it out......

oh so it was just a one car accident?

Actually my brother got a ticket like that lol. He rear ended somebody, not too bad just a little, and then his friends show up and start talking to the cop for him, and the one friend pissed the cop off

Yep, one car accident. No insurance claim, we called to have it towed off, but the tow truck guy wouldn't touch it until there was a police report so we had to wait forever for a sheriff's deputy to show up to do an accident report. I think he just got failure to control for it.

He hit gravel at the apex of a very off camber turn with a s*** ton of elevation change, made it all the way down the hill sideways then the rear end just slid off the road to the right which sent the car all the way around in a spin, then the car came back across the road and backed into that mound, and the angle that the rear of the car went into the mound was just right so that the passenger side exhaust tip dug straight into the mound forcing the rest of the car to try to pivot around that point but when the rest of the rear of the car came around to contact the mound it just lifted the rear of the car and turned it over....Also when he spun, he didn't have any brakes, as there was a stainless braided coolant line running through the frunk the go so hot that it actually melted through the break fluid reservoir causing him to lose break fluid, which is the puddle or fluid under the hood in the pics of the car upside down..... I'll add a picture story later, but now I'm late to class.
