Unhappy Well I almost DIED today. Flipped in my friends Convertable Mustang!!

Its hard to even talk about it but earlier today I was in a really bad accident. We lost two Mustangs in our group today! My friend in his FoxBody Stang's tire popped and he lost control and collided with the car I was in..which just happened to be a Covertable Mustang. (The one in the pictures that I posted!!) We started spinning and ended up backwards and we hit the curb, flipped and rolled to a stop. In the end , both of the cars took out some street signs, alot of bushes and a tree. WE SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE!! I am going to thank GOD every day for letting me get through this alive. The car was completely destroyed, the top was crushed in pretty good right where my head was, we landed upside down on a boulder, but came out with only bumps and bruises. I feel so bad because both these guys were my two best friends and they both lost their cars today. I will post pics when I get them!!

Good grief, man! Thank God you're alive! That sucks about the cars too. I've never been in a really bad wreck, and can't imagine what it'd be like.

Sometimes it takes an event such as this to make you realize how precious your life really is and not to take anything for granted.

I just wanna say thanks to everyone for caring. Yeah this was the scariest moment of my life. My girlfriend flipped her ranger with me in it but this was by far worse than anything. We were upside down and I could see the boulder we were about to land on. It smashed in the window right in front of me. My friend in the fox slid to a stop and had time to see us flipping in the air. The insurence totaled both of them today, so they're gone for good. I won't ever ride in a vert again, or even another persons car after this. My life flahed before me when we went airborn, it was crazy. I get chills and get sick everytime I talk about it. THANK YOU GOD!!! Thats all I have to say!! We were going about a buck fifteen when it all started to happen!! The city charged their insurence for all the plants, trees, and signs that we took out. Both guys were about to get blowers too...:censored: !!!

You were both going 115mph??? I'm assuming you were racing?.....again, I'm glad everyone is ok, but no wonder I pay freaking out of my azz for insurance even with a perfect record.
