Default I was missing my old truck...

...after talking to another board member and I thought I'd show you guys. This happened my first week of college, and though it sucked....the guy I hit paid for my S2000







And this is why I have a scar on my forehead...


Notice the broken steering wheel, also done by my forehead...



I hit an OLD F-350 Diesel Crew Cab and flipped it on its side (I t-boned him). It actually ripped the entire bed off his truck, so I know this puppy took one hell of a beating and probably saved my life. The next vehicle I buy will be a Toyota Tacoma, I can tell ya that much

He ran a red light, and instead of me suing the piss out of him, he paid me

I was wearing my seatbelt, but for some reason it didn't grab like it was supposed to. My head hit the steering wheel, and then went up into the windshield; the only reason I didn't go all the way through is my lanky knees

After my head went a couple of inches into the windshield my knees hit the dash and I was thrown back into my seat. I couldn't walk for about a week, but my knees probably saved me.
