probably ricing around in their new cobalt trying to hear the turbo that everyone keeps saying is silent. I hope they get better. That sucks that it happened. People need to learn to drive more responsibly though.

Well in pennsylvania it was really foggy and he was on a back road.... and here we tend to know the backroads by heart so the fog wasnt too much of a factor for a regular driver BUT i guess my buddy thought ANOTHER hill was coming up and there wasnt and he went straight into a hillside

Regardless of whether you know the roads or not.. you should still slow down for the conditions. Sucks it had to happen but it sounds like he must have been cruising pretty good to get messed up like that. Lesson learned. And again I hope they call come through OK. Cars can be easily replaced, people can't.

It's not the first wrecked, but the first totalled. There is a guy out here who got hit by a driver who ran a red light and totalled his 07 s2 SS/SC. The dealership just happen to have a brand new, fully loaded, SS/TC arriving in black. He bought it and told the dealership to not let anybody drive it until he could pick it up. Unfortunately, they didn't and some asshat hit a pothole and broke the intercooler (I believe they hang lower than the SS/SC). The intercooler is on backorder, so now he has nothing except a rental the dealership is paying for.
Regardless, this really sucks. I hope everybody comes out of this as well as possible. I always hate to hear about a good car becoming a casuality, but I hate hearing about people becoming injured like this too.

If you can please find out for me where he broke his back. June 14th of 2007 I was in a car accident, I was the passenger, and I broke my back in 3 places. I broke my T11, my T12 had a burst fracture and was in a million parts floating around in my body, and I broke my L1. I had 2 spinal fusions and died once on the operating table. After the first surgery, I awoke from the ICU paralyzed from the waist down. Same thing after the 2nd surgery. Stayed that way for 3 weeks and then a miracle happened and my foot twitched. As of today I walk with a slight limp and have pain throughout my body every day, but it is much better than being paralyzed. It really sucks when you are riding with a friend who does something that changes your life forever.
They will all be in my prayers and I hope they all make a full recovery.

Luckily he shouldn't lose any mobility in his body, although I am no doctor. I am still recovering but its a day to day thing. It will take in an upwards of 3 years for me to recover. I went from not being able to move anything from my lower half, to being able to walk and drive and go to dinner with the girl etc. I am doing much much better than I was, its just the pain that gets to me after awhile. Thanks for the support though, and like I said my prayers will be with you and your friends and family. I hope you guys all make it through this tough time. I personally know how hard it can be.
