Did your car have stability control? I only ask cause I wonder if it could of helped you out before you lost control of the vehicle. I recently had it save my ass, wouldn't of been as bad as your accident but I probably would caused some damage.

im glad you are ok though. get a ss/tc. you will be a lot happier in the long run.
I was accelerating to get up to traffic. I was probably going 50-55 when I hit the thing and started rolling. (55 is speed limit)

I really don't want a tc....but I guess I will have too. I was happy with my SC...different, SC'ed and I had dreams of putting her in a magazine. Not now

I have to learn a whole new car and try to think of ways to be different with a turbo car.....not very easy to do.

man you can talk all you want about watchin the conditions and looking down the road for these potholes, but if it was dark out and maybe he was shoulder-checking for traffic and he just didnt see it. **** DOES ACCIDENTALLY HAPPEN even to the best most cautious drivers.

Dude, it wasn't my intention to wreck my car at all. i wasn't driving recklessly or being an ass. I turned to make sure I could merge, started to pull over, and went side ways. I wasn't out to hit someone's kids or take out some fathers or mothers.

And how is calling me a ****** and a douche teaching me? Look at my record. No speeding violations, a few parking tickets. I was a good, careful driver, and did nothing to anyone. It was uphill and then levels out, no way I could have seen that pothole or known I was going to crash and nearly kill myself!

Not cool to crash....who would EVER think its cool? I didn't want to nearly end my life man. It wasn't my fault at all. but thanks for being understanding of everything. I appreciate it.

I'm glad somebody said it because I didn't want to be the first. This thing has excessive speed written all over it. First it was "less than 45", now its 50-55 and accelerating?

This is eastbound 80 to southbound 57?

Damn man I'm so sorry to hear this. You dreamed aboutt his car for for what 2 years or so? Then you only have it for for a little while and this? This just isn't fair at all! I wish you all the best and HOPE you can find a replacement you'll be happy with. PM me if you need anything bud.

Hopefully you'll find a nice pothole yourself. Its ass faces like you that make the rest of us want to donkey punch babies in the face. Ass hat.


As for the rest of you haters its obvious you don't have ANY idea what in thee **** you're talking about! 55 mph and hiting a pot hole and losing control isn't that hard to do. And if you do and slid sideways off the road your tires dig into the soft shoulder thats been soaked with rain and snow for months now and the car fips. Its easier then you think..... oh wait its obvious from your hate that you didn't think.

You don't see hitting a pothole making sense? You either have NO clue about physics or have never seen the potholes that come about around the Great Lakes/NE area.

Some of us have kids? Seriously? That's the best you can come up with? If someone with your attitude has kids, I can only hope that they won't grow up to be as big a douche as yourself.

Not getting what is so unbelievable about losing control at 50-55mph.

x2!!!!!!

My dad's *ADULT* cousin was killed in a rollover accident. Her speed per accident reconstruction team was a MAXIMUM of 35mph on a dry road. **** happens. I don't think people realize the power of 3000 lbs of steel when something goes wrong.

It's obvious you took care of it. And in those last moments it took care of you too in return.

Glad to hear you're okay!
