Well, I have other stories, but that one has to take the cake because it's not everyday that a Viper becomes an orbital vehicle launch pad... I swear the integra looked like the Charger at the end of "The Fast and the Furious"

heheh I am probably the most cautious driver out there =P always wait a couple seconds after the light goes green so any red light runners can get the hell outta the way

I also had a crazy girlfriend grab the wheel a few years ago - managed to push her back in her seat before anything serious happened.
Another one had a few drinks too many and tried to get little Dan out while I was driving on an icy road.
Fortunately no accident.

Of the 2 accidents I've ever been in (pretty minor ones, luckily) the part of it I remembered for days afterwards was the noise. A kind of metallic crunch. Still sends a shiver down my spine.

Rolled my 8 month old Pontiac Sunfire down a hill.....everything does really happen in slo-mo. Especially when you have been drinking. Took a left turn too fast, clipped a cop waiting for the red light at that intersection, hit a large dirt embankment and "launched" the car into the air.

The car landed on it's side, and then started to roll down a hill. Just like in the movies. It happened so quickly that I really didn't have time to react.

Luckily I had my seatbelt on and climbed out with a small cut on my hand. Both airbags went off and my car was mushed. Everyone couldn't believe I survived. Of coarse it was in the Sunday paper, and everyone was talking about it the next day at school.
