Didn't even bust the driver's window!

Glad you're okay. I had a simular situation in 02. Sudden downpour as I was getting on the JFX from downtown Baltimore, hit a patch of water and LF smacked the Jersey wall first which spun the car around and the LR started going up the wall til the lower A-arm broke...$19k in damage.

One night when I was 19, I was driving home from work in my 79 MGB, I was on a back road in Delaware and I went too fast around a corner, flipped over (saw the road moving just inches from my eyeballs), smacked a telephone pole (broke it) and ended upside down. Had to have the FD break the window so I could climb out. Car was totalled.

Like I said, glad to know you're okay.

Warren

Damn sounds like you had some stories to tell poeple too. Thank god your still telling them. Its hard looking at the pictures now even though I had all day to think about it.. Could have easily been my time. But hey I get a bump, and a lot of people telling me they're glad I'm still alive. I won't ever look at things the same.

Try flying 183 feet off a motocycle on 495. Now THOSE are fun times. Nothing beats a wheelchair as your mode of transportation.

I love bikes, but that's the reason I won't ever get one.

Sorry 'bout the car, but I'm really happy that you're okay. That's a very seriously BAD accident. You're very fortunate.

You are very lucky there wasn't more water in that ditch.

I'm not getting into any of my stories.

Wow - you are a lucky man.

The one accident I've been in was for the same reasons. I was doing the speed limit (but on bald tires ) in my old Prelude when I hydroplaned at the top of a hill and hit the Jersey wall twice - with the same end of the car. The car was pretty banged up, but the good old Honda kept me safe

Hey Brandon,
You weren't driving a BMW at Mid-Ohio last weekend, were you?
