Im happy you are ok! Im sorry that you lost the 7 ....

steve84GS TII 03-21-06 09:48 PM

Uggg....side impacts are the worst! At least it was the passenger side....you didnt have a passenger right?

Hope you recover OK, and find another one to play with.....

k3nshin 03-21-06 09:51 PM

OUCH! Im glad your ok.

and I think that will just buff right out...

fishbulb95 03-21-06 09:54 PM

There was no passenger, i wish i could get more pictures, but my camera died, like physically died. About 1 hour after those pics were taken the car went to the crusher.

I did not have a passenger, but seeing how the passenger side door was in the center consol, and the bumper from the truck was sitting in the drivers seat, it's a wonder i made it. I"m really gald i didn't have a passenger with me.

Glad you are ok... are you going to part out the car?

MattG 03-21-06 10:05 PM

nah hes car already went to the crusher.

It is stated above!

Sorry to hear about that man. 7's can be replaced people cant! Glad your ok!

steve84GS TII 03-21-06 10:06 PM

Yea,my sis got T-boned at about the same speed in her Civic...but she was hit by an Intrepid.Those damn things are so wedge shaped,it plowed under her car and actually sustained more visible damage than the Civic.She fared pretty well since it wasnt a full,blunt impact....but still,her car was totalled too.

Thats one thing that scares me about our cars....the low,wedge shape is just perfect for plowing under a bigger,heavier car.Decapitation aint far away once you slip under the rocker or bumper of another car,at high speeds.

God damn that had to hurt, what's up with the head though? No medical treament or somethin? I figured docs would've shaved the area/cleaned it up and wrapped it.

misterstyx69 03-21-06 10:14 PM

Wow...It goes to show ya though..that the car was made good..Thank God for that..and Glad to hear that you are allright..Sorry about your car..I hope you get a "bonus" from the ASSHAT that hit you..(looks like mental stress,injury,pain and suffering to me..)

nickn505 03-21-06 10:16 PM

Damn that's crazy! Just a month ago I remember giving you advice about how to fix the idleing problems on your car!
Time to get a new 7. Did insurance pay you?

They sent me home like that, it's not as bad today, because that was just dried blood, they gave me neosporin. Had a cat-scan... accordng to the nurse i have "A Beautiful Brain" no damage or anything... mostly it was just shards of glass, no stitches. but i did recieve a concussion.

Aside from the terrible headaches, the only part of my limbs that hurt is my right arm where they gave me a tetnus shot.


All i remember is seeing the grill of the truck about 10 feet from me, then waking up on the ground on one of those hard stretchers. Blacked out a few times, woke up once in the ambulance when they gave me an IV of Saline. Then I was in the big surgery room, all the doctors were standing over me, testing my reflexes, then jumped to being inside the cat-scaning machine.. then i was in a small room that's where i finally became lucid enough to remember everything.

My dad had the car under his name.. all i had was medical and collision, so if the car gets totalled we get nothing. and my dad didn't want to pay $150 per day to store it, so he signed the title over to the impound yard.

if it's any consolation:

This is 'Pamela', my first GSL-SE, before:

And here she is after turning a corner on a windy mountain road in the rain, discovering a car parked in the middle of the highway blocking the lane, and swerving to avoid being sandwiched between said parked car in front and the semi-tractor skidding on locked brakes behind me:

note the roof at the B pillar is almost touching the headrest. That's what happens when you land on your roof, boys and girls.

The good news is that your dad did not sign you over to the hospital, good bodies are valuable when they are parted out! Hated my early days in emergency patching up car crash victims, even worse was telling relatives bad news.

Make sure you get a police copy of the accident report. Even if you are partly to blame pursue a claim as it is cheaper for an insurance company to pay a small amount than pay legal costs. Is there a small claim court where you are, that way you can represent yourself?

Glad you survived and they found you had got a great brain. Not that you needed the confirmation having been wise enough to choose a RX-7.

Nicholas P. 03-21-06 11:46 PM

tetnus shots. eeew. i just got one.

gonna swell up for like 2 weeks, normal. feels like a muscle on your arm...

rotaries_only 03-22-06 12:04 AM

im gonna have to say good thing that u got hit from the side instead of the front. 7's tend to do a full body crumple... i see a few lookin like that in the wrecking yard... u end up like canned salmon if its head on collision.

good to see ur ok.

Hyper4mance2k 03-22-06 12:15 AM

fawk I can't wait to get my cage in...

Zyrano 03-22-06 12:18 AM
