a sample of what you've all been waiting for

Post by tangerine »

my insurance agent had 3 pictures of my car setting in the junkyard that he sent me, and these pictures dont do it justice. the rear shot you can see where my subs busted the door open bending it where it would not shut. I wish he would have got a full shot and some interior shots but i guess this is what they do when they rush. Well anyways, here you go for those who have been waiting almost 2 years and i just noticed someone peeled the 'A' off of my 'A'udio sticker on the back, lol

Quote, originally posted by Vibr8tr »Man, that sucks. Just out of curiosity, what kind of car do you got now?I drive my SS Silverado for now, which I had before my accident. I had planned on buying a sportscar since my family does alot of racing, but the last few months alot has changed. We were supposed to be building a vette, which in turn never happened because business picked up for my dad and my uncle had a heart attack. I have now decided to stop racing and driving fast cars as its been slapped in my face how lucky i was to survive that accident, and a good friend of mine was killed on thanksgiving in a car accident really changing my view on things. *knock on wood* all the problems i had with my truck that made me want to get rid of it have been fixed and she runs good now so I am just going to keep it until I get through my settlement and figure out what I'm going to do now. last monday I got my final report from my doctor which is what we've been waiting on to start my settlement and I was told the recovery I'v made thus far is likely to be the only recovery I'm going to see and my current restrictions remain permanent. I have a 20% disability to the spine and ligimatures around it, no lifting more than 15lbs, no standing more than 30-45 minutes, and no walking more than 3 blocks.My truck:

I hope the settlement helps some, but that still sux. I also hope that the doc is wrong, and that you will be able to make further recovery.

I'm still to this day impressed at how well the car held up being hit headon at 60+mph. I was doing 62 in a 60 and the guy that hit me told the hwy patrol he was doing 70 when came around that curve and reading a map. I have alot of injuries, but I'm still alive.

Hope your recovery continues. I'm not a very religious person but I will say a prayer for you. You need it.
