my friends and i were driving home, 1:00 am..i was in the back seat behind the driver. we were doing 65-70mph in the slow lane (northern california) 80 east. anyways we were just conversating and then my friend (driver) says oh shit some ones coming fast from behind. by the time i was gonna look back and see, never got to see the car. he was goin 130mph. it hit our rear end in a heavy weight level the impact was so hard our car lifted and when it went back on the ground it tilted towards the left, and began to roll multiple times, i saw the windshield was in a twisting motion. i was grabbing on something.my lungs collapsed, our car ended up upside down. i tried to get out my door they were jammed, so i crawled out through a broken window, and layed down on the dirt dialed 911 breathing rapidly. help arrived fast. the guy that hit is were DRUNK AFRICAN AMERICAN GUY!!! and ask us "did you hit me or did i hit you?" i'm like WTF? he had a rental car. got arrested. stretcher and neck brace sucks. i'm alive just glad i wasn't in my S otherwise i am dead. now i'm thinking about selling my S and get a mid size sedan. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!! i got stitches on my hand, seat belt bruised, glass cuts, back pain. etc.

 

Well it really doesn't matter what car you driving.
If it was a 18 wheeler that hit you going 95+ midsize sedan or not you'll be in a wreck anyway.
Hey at least with the S you might be able to speed out of the way.

But glad you came out ok

 

knowing that the guy was drunk makes it even more disgusting.
HIS irresponsibility endangered you and your friend's lives. it's ridiculous.

i'm sure there's gonna be some people who are gonna be like, "i know what i can handle," or, "i'm still good to go if it's only one drink." but i say no... alcohol for the night means dun ****ing drive (i've read the rule is one hour of waiting for each drink... or something along those lines, but i'd give it a generous amount more). it's that simple.
and if it even matters, it's the law. a reasonable law at that. so apparently there are plenty of people that see themselves as to cool to follow a reasonable law. <_<

it'd be nice if it was only their life that they're messing around with, but there are other people on the road that they should be considerate about.
/rant

glad you're safe.
if you WERE in the S and you saw that guy coming ahead fast...
you would have evaded his ass and sustained the most epic drift known to man. lol.

 

Statistics my brother - you're golden now!

Don't think that now is the time to worry - you just got hit by the lightning bolt. Basic statistics indicate you have decades to go until the next random bad luck!

Live it up!

 

That sucks, but this is not S2000 Talk.
